  1. You know that in class we focus on firsts, significant events, and also current events. For the first time in US history, a former president has been indicted for criminal offenses. The NYT had this:

    By Michael Rothfeld, April 4, 2023

    "The Manhattan district attorney’s office unveiled an indictment on Tuesday charging former President Donald J. Trump with 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree, a low-level felony in New York State. The charges are related to reimbursements to Mr. Trump’s former fixer, Michael D. Cohen, for a hush-money payment to Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential campaign. Mr. Trump pleaded not guilty in court on Tuesday."


    For planning purposes, how important is it to you for our class to investigate this issue further and spend class time discussing it? (1-10: 1= not interested, 10 = most important).
    Also, let me know Why or Why not? Please explain.
