Former President Donald Trump was arraigned in Washington, D.C. Thursday on four criminal counts related to allegations he sought to overturn the 2020 presidential election. It was the third time Trump was placed under arrest in the past few months.

While this series of legal proceedings has taken place, Trump has become the Republican front-runner in the 2024 race for the White House. 

The interplay of these two facts means Americans are on an unprecedented legal rollercoaster that has never been experienced before. 

President of Dan Schorr LLC, former prosecutor and municipal inspector general, Dan Schorr, spoke with Capital Tonight host Susan Arbetter about the former president’s legal jeopardy and how the Constitution deals (or doesn’t) with this kind of situation.
