Expert Analysis on Historical Significance of Donald Trump's Conviction | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Professor of Presidential Studies and co-director of the Presidential Oral History program at the Miller Center of Public Affairs, a nonpartisan affiliate of the University of Virginia, Barbara Perry joins to discuss the historical significance of Donald Trump's conviction. This is the first time ever that a former US president has been found guilty and convicted of a felony. Perry tells us what she thinks the historians will have to say about this unprecedented moment in time. Perry shares how this ranks when it comes to historical moments in US political history. There has been a lot of reaction to former President Trump's criminal conviction, not just in the US but also around the world. Leaders in Russia, Italy and Hungary have expressed support and solidarity with Donald Trump. While some leaders in Great Britain and Japan have refrained from making comments except to mention that they are basically monitoring the situation. That said, Perry discusses how she thinks the rest of the world is viewing this development and how unusual it is on a global scale. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
