New Yorker staff writers Susan B. Glasser, Jane Mayer and Evan Osnos examine former President Donald Trump’s indictment in Miami on thirty-seven federal charges, including obstruction of justice and willful withholding of security material national In a speech at his New Jersey golf club, the former president called the charges “false and fabricated” and the prosecution “election interference” and “political persecution.” With few exceptions, congressional Republicans defended him and attacked the Justice Department and the FBI; perhaps more surprisingly, almost all of his opponents for the Republican presidential nomination have done the same. As Glasser says, “There have been so many rules broken by Donald Trump, sometimes we may not notice when another one is happening. But I think this week has marked another Rubicon.”
