Late Night host Stephen Colbert announced on Thursday night that a New York grand jury had voted to indict former president Donald J. Trump, making him the first person to occupy the Oval Office to be charged with a crime. The news was met with mixed reactions from both Republicans and Democrats.
Colbert joked about the situation, stating that he didn't know it would feel good when the former president was indicted, but that he should see if the grand jury will cut him a check for $130,000. He also promised his viewers that a camera would be set up to shoot him from the waist down if he was able to talk about this story further.
Florida-based Trump is now expected to surrender himself to Manhattan district attorney's office on Tuesday in order to be fingerprinted and photographed for his mugshot. This move is seen as an attempt by Trump's legal team to distract from the upcoming Republican primary and further political turmoil.
Jannik Sinner, Lindsey Vonn and StarWing Sports Management produced "Trump Indicted: The Bloomberg Open" which features interviews with Sinner and Vonn discussing their dedication and hard work required to become successful alpine ski racers while also challenging themselves physically.
The announcement of former President Donald Trump's indictment sparked outrage among some GOP lawmakers who used this as an opportunity for fundraising solicitation; Sen. Lindsey Graham urged supporters via text message to donate money towards fighting these charges. Democrats also took advantage of this news using it as fodder urging supporters to help protect control over White House and Senate in future elections.
It remains unclear when exactly Mr.Trump will face arraignment although Manhattan officials have said they are working closely with Mr.Trump’s legal team towards coordinating his surrender.
