The Financial Times reports that the “dramatic legal reckoning” will threaten Mr Trump’s plans to return to the White House. The paper reports that the indictment represents a “huge moment of peril” for Mr Trump, who is facing the prospect of trying to pursue a presidential campaign while also defending himself in one or multiple criminal trials. Mr Trump was “ashen-faced” as he and his lawyers entered the Manhattan court room, having earlier struck a “defiant” pose before departing in his motorcade from Trump Tower, the paper says.
