OPINION - The Standard View: Justice finally catches up with Donald Trump

Donald Trump’s presidency comprised a series of firsts: the occupant of the Oval Office without any prior military or government service. The first to be impeached twice. And last night, he made further history, becoming the first former US President to be criminally indicted.
