Week in Review: Trump Becomes First Ex-President to Face Federal Charges; Bears Restart Stadium Dialogue with City
Donald Trump makes history as he becomes the first former U.S. president to face federal charges. Special Counsel Jack Smith alleges Trump violated national security laws and engaged in a conspiracy to obstruct justice by hoarding classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago home.
Trump proclaimed his innocence on the Truth Social platform, writing “Our country is going to hell, and they go after Donald Trump.”
Meanwhile, after seemingly being dead-set on a move to Arlington Heights, Chicago Bears CEO Kevin Warren meets with Mayor Brandon Johnson – rekindling hope that the team could be persuaded to remain within the city limits.
The Johnson administration extends parental leave for Chicago Public Schools teachers and staff.
And Illinois gets a budget, as another political corruption trial gets underway in Chicago.
