YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The Department of Justice indicted former president Donald Trump on four felony counts around his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. But what are the charges in the indictment dropped by special counsel Jack Smith? And what do they mean for Trump?

Quinta Jurecic, fellow at the Brookings Institution and senior editor at Lawfare, speaks to digital anchor Nicole Ellis after Trump's arraignment Thursday about these latest charges and why they matter.

Trump is scheduled to be arraigned in Washington D.C. Thursday at 4 p.m. EDT. The conversation will begin at 4:30 p.m. EDT
