indictment of a former president into the first ever conviction here s what we know right now. while the indictment is yet to be unsealed, nbc news has learned it contains roughly 30 counts of document fraud-related charges and trump s attorney is making clear that trump will not take a plea deal in fact, his team is planning to challenge the indictment to try to get the case thrown out before it ever gets to trial all of this is just the first glimpse of what will be fought, not just in court, but across america with people divided over whether this indictment proves the american justice system is fair or fundamentally broken i feel very concerned about the rule of law in this country because it endangers the rule of law for all americans. today it s donald trump, tomorrow it s a democrat the day after it s, i don t know, your friend. the day after that it s you or me. it is also, i think, a vindication of the rule of law and a principle that people should be held accountable whet
