The Impending Trump Indictment: What Lies Ahead

TL;DR Summary
Former President Donald Trump was arraigned on Tuesday, pleading "not guilty" to more than three dozen federal charges, including willful retention of classified information and obstruction of justice, over his handling of classified documents post-presidency. The federal justice system's "speedy" trial is a relative term, and it may be months before Trump's trial begins. Trump's legal team may file motions to dismiss the case or exclude certain evidence from being presented at trial. Trump is also contending with a separate indictment by the state of New York on felony charges of falsifying business records.
