Donald Trump is the first former US President to be impeached. The New York lawyer Cheryl Bader analyzes the legal consequences of the indictment for him and why it could still be a long time before a verdict is reached.
Ms. Bader, you yourself work as a lawyer in New York. How did you react when you found out about the charges against Donald Trump?
Cheryl Bader: Of course, like everyone else, I waited with bated breath. We knew that was likely to happen. So on the one hand I wasn’t really surprised anymore. On the other hand, when a former president is indicted for a crime, it is a historic moment.
