With last week’s indictment of former President Donald Trump, the United States has entered an unsettling new era characterized by chronic dysfunction, according to prominent conservative historian Victor Davis Hanson.

The New York grand jury’s indictment of Trump, the first of a current or former president, is “going to open up a new phase we’ve never seen before in the country that political differences are going to be adjudicated out by warring prosecutors,” Hanson told The Epoch Times on April 3.
