Former U.S. president Donald Trump pictured during a meeting with NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg at Winfield House, London on Dec. 3, 2019. She added that the NATO alliance "allows us to prevent war." The defense spending target is not a requirement and many countries have sought to ramp up their military spending since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. NATO's so-called Article 5 mutual defense clause means that an attack against one NATO member is considered an attack against all allies. "NATO cannot be an 'a la carte' military alliance ... depending on the humor of the president of the U.S.," Borrell said when asked to respond to Trump's comments, Reuters reported.

US President Donald Trump (R) gestures as he talks with US Ambassador to the United Kingdom Woody Johnson (L) preparing to board Marine One to depart the US ambassador's residence Winfield House in London on July 13, 2018. Billionaire and New York Jets owner Woody Johnson is part of a very small group within former President Donald Trump's inner circle: Wealthy supporters who are willing to invest their own personal capital to convince Republican megadonors to donate to Trump's presidential campaign. "The sales pitch from team Johnson has been 'it's going to be Trump based on the polling. Are you just not going to get on the train as Trump heads to be the nominee?'" But not Johnson.

An indictment is the formal notification that a grand jury has brought charges against a defendant. A grand jury is convened in some criminal cases to decide if prosecutors have enough evidence to go to trial. With that vote, 76-year-old Trump became the first former US president ever to be indicted on criminal felony charges in American history. Federally, like in Trump's Miami case, all felony charges are also presented to a grand jury for a similar process. NICHOLAS KAMM/AFP via Getty ImagesWhy was Trump indicted — twice?

☆ At the Real Embassy, Netflix’s ‘Diplomat’ Draws a Diplomatic Response

“Sorry, that doesn’t happen.”“I also don’t have a D.C.M. who brings racks of clothes into my office and tells me what I should wear,” she said, referring to the deputy chief of mission, who in the series acts as the ambassador’s fashion stylist. “I wear my own clothes.”A gauzy mix of spy thriller and soap opera, “The Diplomat” debuted last month as the most-watched series on Netflix, and remains in the top 10. It has become compulsive viewing in foreign-policy circles — easy to mock for its Bond-meets-Bourne plot twists but also a source of gratification among diplomats, who feel Hollywood is finally showing them the recognition it has long given C.I.A. agents (though the series has one of those, too).

An indictment is the formal notification that a grand jury has brought charges against a defendant. A grand jury is convened in some criminal cases to decide whether prosecutors have enough evidence to bring a defendant to trial. "An indictment is a finding by a grand jury that there is reasonable cause to believe the target committed a crime," he said. When that's done, the grand jury will deliberate and then vote on which — if any — charges they will indict. In New York, where Trump was indicted, 16 out of an originally selected 23 grand jurors must be present for a voting quorum, according to the state grand juror's handbook.
