For those old enough to remember Watergate ... 6
Summoned to appear in court. I don't think judges take kindly to folks who don't appear when summoned. Multi-billionaire? A flight risk? [Later: showed up in court. Absolutely uneventful.]
From the linked article:
The New York Times, citing people familiar with matter, reported that the charges include “willfully retaining national defense secrets in violation of the Espionage Act, making false statements and an obstruction of justice conspiracy.”
Trump, who is seeking the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, is the only U.S. president, former or otherwise, ever to be criminally charged. A Trump political action committee immediately began fundraising off news about the latest indictment.
He was first indicted by a New York state grand jury in March on charges of falsifying business records in connection with a hush money payment to a porn star in 2016.
In a video statement Thursday, Trump called the new charges “election interference at the highest level.”
IIRC: Richard Nixon resigned before he could be indicted, or impeached.
