Hour with the cast of In The Heights. This is American Voices. Hello, everyone. Im alicia menendez. Donald trump has been out of office for over 140 days now, yet the damage hes inflicted on democracy continues to be revealed.

The right is more focused on turns message and what he stands for while the left keeps assailing him as a wouldbe dictator.

what is he in for, my friend? well, he s in for a historic court appearance. we ve never seen one like this. the first former president to be indicted on federal charges. neil, he s on the ground in miami. so it will be underway in less than 24 hours. after arriving here in miami, the president drove to his club where he s expected to meet with his legal team. trump did not speak when he landed. he has spoken quite a bit hammering the indictment on social media posts and campaign stops over the weekend. painting himself as a victim. it appears neil that message is being heard on capitol hill back in washington. here s speaker mccarthy earlier today. listen here. the idea of equal justice is not playing out here. so that s a real concern to all americans. but neil, facing 37 counts including willfully retaining national defense information, making false statements and conspiracy to obstruct justice, his former attorney general bill barr says these charges are very seriou
