The news hit like a political earthquake. Four felony charges. A former president at the center of a criminal storm. The words “conspiracy” and “defraud the United States” now hang over Donald Trump like a shadow that will not move. Prosecutors say this wasn’t chaos, it was a plan—an attack on the very idea of American

wondering what happens if a jury decides a president tried to break democracy to
keep power. Whatever the verdict, the country that enters this trial
will not be the same one that emerges from its final, irrevocable judgment.
