In this extract from our 2022 debate 'Prosecute Trump', Professor David Blight and Rich Lowry, discuss the timely question of whether former President Donald Trump should be prosecuted for potential violations of the Espionage Act and his role in the events leading up to January 6. The recent FBI search of Trump's Florida home has ignited a heated discussion about accountability, democracy, and the future of American institutions. Professor Blight argues for prosecution as a means to protect democracy and historical precedent, while Rich Lowry raises concerns about the legal challenges and potential divisive consequences of such action.
