Opening Argument
The prosecution argues that the recent mailings of letters containing 'suspicious substances' to election offices across multiple states are a direct attack on the integrity of our democracy, orchestrated by none other than Donald Trump himself. The prosecution alleges that these actions are not isolated incidents but rather a calculated effort to sow chaos and distrust in the electoral process.
