In the American Justice system, all criminal defendants who plead not guilty are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
The Trump Troubles
Unprecedented criminal and civil cases are swirling around a certain ex-president. His supporters call them political persecution and election interference. His detractors counter that the allegations speak for themselves and no one should be above the law or immune from any consequence of their bad actions due to wealth, power, connections, celebrity, or political affiliation.
