Three of the cases involving former President Donald Trump have been or are being presented to a grand jury. Here's how a grand jury works.
While the country anticipates the first-ever indictment of a former president – assuming Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg charges Donald Trump with a crime – it’s worth looking at the mechanics of what’s going on in the legal system and how the process that applies to everyone is being applied to Trump.
How would you define “indictment”? There are minor variations, but the basics remain the same. Here’s an example of one of the minor variations in New York State, but not in the federal system, meaning for DOJ. The defendant does have some limited right to be notified and given a chance to testify or present defense evidence, which we saw play out over the last week with Trump and then him asking Robert Costello to testify. That’s not the case federally. You do not have to give a defendant a chance to testify or present evidence.
What do you make of that?
