Former President Donald Trump was arraigned on Tuesday, marking the beginning of the court proceedings on his federal indictment. Here's what to expect next:
Special counsel Jack Smith, who brought the charges, says he's "consistent with the public interest and the rights of the accused." But"speedy" in the federal justice system is a relative term. It may be months before Trump's trial begins.
But Serafini said the timeline may be extended, particularly because discovery in this case involves classified documents, and it might not be possible to figure out how to provide those to the former president's legal team quickly. "Trump's best defense here is to delay until he thinks he could get into office and therefore be in charge of the Justice Department again," said Cheryl Bader, associate professor of Law at Fordham University.
Politically, Trump is expected to continue to defend himself and his actions to voters, to portray the special counsel's case against him as a"witch hunt" and"political hit job" and to use it as a fundraising tool.
