After a long period of anticipation, the first of likely two separate sets of federal indictments dropped Thursday evening in the Southern District of Florida against ex-president Donald Trump. The charges revolve around his alleged illegal retention of national security documents and efforts to hinder and obstruct their return to the government. In historic terms, it is the first time a president will have to face federal charges; for our nation today, it is an important achievement for the rule of law and the principle that no one is above it, not even a former president.
