With reports of former President Donald Trump's potential indictment by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, charges against the former head of state are a subject discussion. Bragg's grand jury is reportedly examining the charge of falsifying business records, prompting queries about the legal theory of the potential case and whether it is a misdemeanor or felony charge. Unless the indictment is unsealed sooner, the exact charge against Trump is unknown since it will be filed under seal following the grand jury's vote. Until then, it's difficult to know how strong the case against Trump will be. However, his legal team has been in contact with prosecutors, and Trump is expected to be arraigned next week. While the potential indictment of a former president may put the country in uncharted waters, some democracies are less tentavive than the US when it comes to holding heads of state accountable for criminal acts. Regardless, the accusations against Trump and the potential charges have already caused media coverage and statements by Republicans such as House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who has accused the district attorney of abusing his power.
