Five in Ten 8/3/23: Trump Indicted Again

Donald Trump has been indicted by a federal grand jury on four counts related to his efforts to challenge the results of the 2020 election. Essentially, Special Counsel Jack Smith is using the courts as a do-over for two unsuccessful impeachment trials. 5) Trump indicted one day after explosive testimony to Congress about Hunter Biden’s “business” deals; 4) Israel’s Ministry of Defense buying $60 million worth of 155mm artillery shells; 3) Coup in Niger threatens to plunge West Africa into war; 2) Thousands of young illegal migrants with tuberculosis released from US government custody; 1) Florida sheriff asks residents to stop calling 911 when they see manatees in shallow water—it’s mating season and they are “more than fine.”
