Indictment

At the former President’s indictment in Miami on Tuesday, it was impossible to say whether his fate was more likely to be a return to the White House—or prison. 

It gives Trump a compelling reason to persevere in his campaign, and to sow doubt about the criminal process.

The case, which concerns the former President’s handling of classified documents, raises complicated questions about intent and national security.

The indicted ex-President has gone missing.

“Seems so SURREAL,” the former President wrote before his arraignment, with a curious self-alienation, as if he were not actually experiencing the event but watching it on TV (which he probably was).

Following the Manhattan District Attorney’s investigation, the former President was arraigned on felony charges stemming from hush-money payments.

The writer and historian talks with David Remnick about the stakes of a Trump reëlection. Plus, Brooke Shields on the sexualization of girls in Hollywood.

The indictment of the former President by a Manhattan grand jury begins a perilous new phase in the Trump saga.

A press stakeout of Manhattan’s Criminal Courthouse dwindled down to a single cameraman. Then the news that a grand jury had voted to indict the former President arrived.

A solemn, non-gloating, and uncelebratory fanfare.

The responses to Alvin Bragg’s Stormy Daniels case may not offer the best guide to navigating the former President’s legal troubles.

Buying silence is as old as Genesis. Among the hushers: Bill Cosby, Michael Jackson, Bette Davis, and a U.S. President with a special friend called Jerry the Penis.
