Within hours of the earlier essay on presumption of innocence, Donald Trump posted information that he had been indicted on seven counts, on allegations of illegally keeping top secret documents, conspiracy, and other issues.
Soon, his supporting TV network was blaming the special counsel for indicting the former president.
Headline on the Fox network: "Biden DA Indicts Political Adversary."
Correction: Prosecutors do not and cannot indict anyone. That's done by a grand jury of a dozen or more members whose duty is to hear the evidence and then vote on whether there is enough evidence to continue the case.
They did, and now Trump has joined history as the only U.S. president indicted for a criminal offense, specifically by allegedly hiding evidence of illegal behavior.
This is a major news story. However, the Fox network today focused their coverage on legal issues being faced by Hunter Biden, son of the current president.
Can you say "priorities"?
The news focus now will be on how the federal judge in Florida, who was appointed by Donald Trump, handles the allegations.
