Indicted for you. With gop voters have second thoughts about making him their nominee. Plus inside of his legal strategy. Weve never had a situation where a spirited debate about the constitution has become a criminal case. Is that trumps strongest defense .

Large interest most significant federal indictment of donald trump ever. This is in a way that well document more significantly than the legal headaches he already has. This will be tonight the first time any former president has been indicted by the Justice Department for trying to steal an election.

So good to see you again. When this all happened last night, i thought of many things, but i did think of you, and ill tell you why. Its evidence related. You have used your knowledge, your program over the many months of this to talk about how initially it was pretty clear that the Justice Department was not going beyond the events of that day, and you and i talked about that. Other reporters have weighed in, and im curious even though i know you have been talking about it for two hours how you think we got here.

An exclusive interview with president Bidens National security adviser Jake Sullivan. We talk about russias war in ukraine. Threats from china, and americas role in a new world. And it is gpss birthday. This year we mark 15 years of the Global Public square. It is astonishing how much has happened in a decade and a half. And we will bring you the highlights.
