Extra Time: A closer look at Trump's latest indictment ahead of arrest
A closer look at former President Donald Trump's third indictment ahead of his arrest in Washington, D.C. on Thursday.

On Wednesday's edition of 'Extra Time,' we cover Trump's latest indictment ahead of his arrest Thursday.



Former President Donald Trump is facing 78 felony counts in total after he was indicted for the third time in less than six months.



Tuesday, Trump was charged with four felony counts in the special counsel's probe into Trump's alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election. These alleged efforts include his actions related to the riot at the Capitol on January 6, 2021.



Trump will be arrested Thursday, in Washington D.C. Meanwhile, Republican primary polls show that Trump's numbers are stronger than ever.



Eyewitness News Reporter Josh Einiger spoke to Diane Peress, a former prosecutor, about Trump's latest indictment and how it could impact his campaign for office.
