Following the 34 felony counts contained in the indictment of former President Donald Trump on April 4, 2023, MSNBC legal analyst and former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner breaks down the major takeaways of this historic moment. Kirschner explains why this indictment from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg opens the door for future indictments from the Fulton County DA and the Department of Justice.
"No prosecutor was enthusiastic about being the first one to criminally indict a former president of the United States because it had never been done before," Kirschner told Salon's Dean Obeidallah. "Well, now the maiden legal voyage is underway; that barrier has been broken."
