Trump's indictment might let things get out of hand.

            Trump's indictment might let things                          get out of hand.

The more serious charges against former President Donald Trump acquire new significance as the news of his indictment spreads and the taboo of not indicting the nation's leader, whether he is the current or former president. Although it is unclear whether Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has a case, the grand jury's readiness to proceed with its investigation into the former president may give other authorities preparing to prosecute Trump the implied approval they were seeking.
