Surprising What Is — and Isn’t — in 3rd Trump Indictment, Legal Expert Says



Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday was indicted for a third time, and “it’s striking that there’s really nothing new in the indictment,” Steven Bradbury says.

The latest indictment by special counsel Jack Smith is “all based on what we already knew publicly from the work of the January 6th committee and from all the news coverage,” Bradbury said, adding that the new indictment is “hollow in the sense of no new allegations.”

Bradbury, a distinguished fellow in the executive vice president’s office at The Heritage Foundation, joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” ahead of Trump’s arraignment in federal court in Washington, D.C., on Thursday to explain what charges Trump is facing. (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation.)

Bradbury, who served as the Department of Transportation’s chief legal counsel in the Trump administration, also explains what the indictment says about the Biden administration’s Department of Justice.
