republican leaders about how to respond. yeah very interesting. indeed. manu raju. appreciate it. thank you joining us now to put all of this into historical context is presidential historian lindsey tra vinh ski lindsay. thank you for your time looks so many unthinkable events have happened related to trump. but now we have for the first time in our history of former us president being indicted on criminal charges can we just pause for a moment and if you can speak to this moment. well, as you said, there s so much that has been new in the last eight years that the word unprecedented has kind of lost some of its meaning and its power. but it s true. this has never happened before. no president has ever been indicted . and so the weight and the seriousness of that moment we shouldn t glass over. we shouldn t allow ourselves to become desensitized to all of the things that have happened in our protocol system that we have not seen before. this mean
that no, the president still belongs to this republic. former president still have to answer for their actions and be held accountable. you know, we just heard from former vice president mike pence. he was speaking at a summit in d. c and, you know, of course he s been, you know, saying that this was an outrageous move. but he also said that this indictment will only serve to further divide our country. we re already seeing the divisions playing out especially from, you know top republicans saying that this was politically motivated. but could our democracy withstand this? especially you know with, you know the toxic political situation that you know we continue to be in. well we re certainly headed. i think for a rough moment, and i don t deny anyway. the partisan tensions and the intensity and animosity that we re probably going to see in the next couple of years. but i think long term if the democracy is going to survive if

espionage claims. russia claims the u. s. has not reached out about securing gersh. if hershkovitz has released something, a former russian captive trevor reid, told cnn this morning needs to happen. quickly. i want to see some definite action. you know, they re going to have to make some type of agreement to get him out. i don t know if that s going to involve a prisoner exchange. um obviously, there s a lot of different things that go into those negotiations, but i think that it s our government s duty to do whatever it takes to get innocent americans out. meantime the president has just arrived in mississippi, where he is going to get a firsthand look. at the damage the devastation caused by a deadly tornado last week, priscilla alvarez is live and rolling fork, mississippi that is an area that was one of the hardest hit and this visit comes
