CBS’ Dickerson: Trump’s N.Y. Criminal Trial Is ‘About a Challenge of Whether the American Legal System Can Be Healthy’

‘It’s not just about a case about a former president’

EXCERPT:

DICKERSON: “There's a thoroughgoing effort to undermine the system of law going on outside the room, and inside the room, the defendant is protected. And we really help protected by everybody behaving by the traditions, norms, of the way you're supposed to behave in a in a courtroom, including the prosecutors and the jury. So you have these two things clashing and that means it's not just about a case about a former president, it's about a challenge of whether the American legal system can be healthy and withstand the hurricane going on outside.”
