On today's show, it is Midday on the Law. My first guest is Ali Velshi, chief correspondent and the host of Velshi on MSNBC. He is also the author of an introduction to a book that compiles all of the indictments against the former president in one volume.

Placing all four indictments together makes a powerful statement about the gravity of the allegations against Mr. Trump, and Velshi makes a persuasive and passionate case for how important it is for us to truly understand what prosecutors are alleging, and why it matters so much to the future of our democracy.
