‘I worry for the times ahead’
Panel voter
The historic criminal indictment against former US President Donald Trump has sparked another partisan flashpoint in an already deeply polarized nation.
Ahead of his court appearance next Tuesday, voters have been sharing with the BBC their strong felt reactions to the first prosecution of a former president.
