In late March 2023, a Manhattan grand jury indicted former US President Donald Trump on more than 30 counts related to business fraud.

In this first episode of Beneath the Law, Canadian lawyers Gavin Tighe and Stephen Thiele examine what the charges really mean, what the grand jury process is really about, and how these legal proceedings might spill into political impacts.
Is it time for just desserts? Or ham sandwiches?
