The Next Trump Indictment
Special Counsel Jack Smith in the federal sphere, or Fani Willis the D.A. in Fulton County, Georgia?
In one of my February articles (February 10th), I suggested that Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg was looking likely to be the first to indict Donald Trump, and that the charges were likely to be more than just the Stormy Daniels’ hush money payment.

The only thing that truly surprised me was the lack of a RICO (the New York statute is sometimes called “little RICO”) theory explicitly charged, which I was rather expecting.
