someone who used to be president and currently running to be president again, is caught up in so many allegations of misconduct, of crimes. and so everything changes now. i mentioned this once earlier tonight. we will remember march 30th. it will be marked in the history books. the future is unwritten, whether it s marked at the beginning of a trial that sends someone to prison or the beginning of a process that cleared his name. we can t tell you that and anyone that tries to p prejudge that might be getting ahead of the process but is the end of a period where donald trump was not legally held to account. and today, in the rest of donald trump s life are different, as he learns, perhaps for the first time in his life, what it is to be completely out of control, to have to react to a government and propecsecutorial system whe his antics do not matter what matters is what a judge says, what a jury of his peers says not what he says or posts. so we re going forward on this tog

facts, listening to the evidence, listening to testimony, and then this, we don t know how many people, 20, 22 people indicting donald trump. is that an accurate way to put it yeah, you know, the check on abuse of a prosecutor s power is the legal system, due process. as you say, a grand jury made a finding of probable cause to believe a crime has been committed here it s a fairly low threshold. prosecutors are ethically bound to bring a case only when they believe they can prove it to a jury in court beyond a reasonable doubt so as this case goes forward, donald trump can say whatever he wants outside of the courtroom, but in the courtroom, he will receive due process. they will cross-examine witnesses and the prosecutor will be held to proof beyond a reasonable doubt we have a statement now for a spokesperson for d.a. alvin bragg. this evening, we contacted mr. trump s attorney to coordinate his surrender to the manhattan d.a. s office for
