Let’s get into it: Where is Donald Trump’s criminal case going? As of early this week, he’s been indicted on allegations of falsification of business records, setting a record as the first president charged with a crime. Now that he’s been indicted, questions remain: How long will the trial take — could it cut into or run pas the 2024 election? How will it rile up Trump’s base (or not), and what shock waves will it send through the political landscape of the far right? And of course, how will it shake up the playing field of Republican presidential hopefuls for 2024? We’ve got lawyer and journalist Bradley Moss on to explain. Watch below:

Earlier this year, Bradley published an opinion piece in CNN, making the case for reformation of the process of classifying documents. Both Biden and Trump have removed classified documents from authorized locations, with the massive debacle surrounding Trump’s holdings of 300+ classified documents at Mar-a-Lago and the discovery by Biden’s personal lawyers of ten classified documents at the president’s private office. In his piece, Bradley draws sharp contrast between Biden’s cooperative, lawful response to the breach of protocol and Trump’s treatment of the investigation as a “political witch hunt.” (The accusation of a witch hunt, of course, strongly mobilized Trump’s base.)

Now, as Trump actually heads to court, we’ll see how that base mobilizes around their perception of the former president as wrongfully accused or persecuted, and how Trump himself continues to refute the charges he’s facing. The case will, we expect, be a major point of focus as we head into a new season of presidential campaigning, and we’ll continue to talk about how mainstream media will respond to case developments, as well as how the Republican Party will be forced to respond.
