Trump can huff and puff but won’t blow the courthouse down, professor says
Donald Trump's arraignment in New York calls into question how much support he will garner as he looks to campaign for re-election in the 2024 presidential race. How the Republican party responds right now is “extremely important,” says Allan Lichtman, American University Distinguished History Professor. Republicans have “somehow suggested that because Donald Trump is a former president, that he is entitled to special privilege...Donald Trump can huff and he can puff, but he's not going to blow the courthouse down,” says Lichtman. The former president faces charges stemming from an investigation into a hush money payment to cover up affairs. Trump will be charged with 34 felony counts when appearing before the judge inside the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse on Tuesday afternoon.

Markets: Trump’s indictment “potentially destabilizing", political expert says
Donald Trump becomes the first former U.S. president to face criminal charges after a NY grand jury moved to indict him relating to an alleged hush money payment to cover up affairs. The former president’s indictment is “potentially destabilizing one way or the other” for markets, says The Bulwark Editor-At-Large, Bill Kristol. In addition to this unprecedented indictment, Trump still faces multiple other major investigations such as the Jan. 6 riot and the handling of White House documents. Kristol says two things are known, “one thing we know is there will be several indictments. The second thing we know, is we don't know what’s exactly going to be in them…I think we're in a time of pretty real uncertainty going forward.”You can watch Yahoo Finance's Brad Smith and Jared Blikre's full interview with Bill Kristol and Greg Valliere here.
