canyonwalkerYesterday former president Donald Trump was arraigned in federal court in Miami on changes of mishandling secret documents, obstruction of justice, and false statements. The arraignment follows the unsealing of the 38-count indictment on Friday. One of Trump's long-time personal aides, Walt Nauta, was also charged as a co-defendant. Both men pleaded not guilty.
News coverage of the events leading up to the arraignment, and Trump's statements since, has been vast. It's basically the biggest story in the new, frequently pushing out news about the current president. I've avoided writing much about it in my blog, though. That's not because I'm not following the events, don't care, or don't have strong opinions.... I am following the news, on a daily basis. I do care, strongly. And I do have strong opinions. But the legality of Trump's actions and the politics around it are not what I want my blog to be about. Thus right now I'm just jotting down a few facts. I may come back around to the topic to share opinions later.
