reads, the democrats have lied, cheated, and stolen in their obsession with trying to get trump but they have done the unthinkable, indicting it and -- indicting an innocent person the former president will try to spin this indictment in his favor in the political arena. >> it was bill clinton wound up being impeached for the monica lewinsky affair. what is unprecedented is being indicted. we have had two presidents go impeachment trials within one generation. unprecedented is a word that is going to be going into the closet for a while because this is uncharted unprecedented but very much the norm now and especially in donald trump's world and he will try to use this to his advantage. it might upset a lot of people but he is not one to back down. he doubles down. >> for my peninsula

congresswoman and abc 7 political analyst jackie spears says we should not rush to judgment even when you consider the former president's history. >> he is presumed innocent until proven guilty. we need to see the indictment. we need to see the charging document and that will tell us more but let's be really clear. this is historic. it is also tragic. this is a former president during his office was obstructing justice. during the mother investigation. he could not be charged because he was then president. now he is no longer president. it will be treated like any other american in terms of whether or not he has violated the law. this grand jury has violated independently -- has acted independently and we need to allow the process to move forward. the rule of law is what holds the country together. >> jackie speier. michael cohen the president's former lawyer who pleaded guilty to facilitating the payment and served prison time released a

statement today saying i do take solace in validating the adage that no one is above the law. not even a former president. today's indictment is not the end of this chapter he goes on but just the beginning. his sentiments were echoed by the lawyer for stormy daniels who statement includes this phrase. no one is above the law. francisco's has of the indictment could set up a legal battle and get florida governor ron desantis involved. he tweeted earlier florida will not assist with the next edition request from york. >> normally you would be given the opportunity to show up. if he refused to do that, if he said i'm not going anywhere governor of florida at that point would have to make serious decisions about whether to engage state law enforcement to honor the full faith and credit of the new york grand jury. and of course we know that the governor of florida is a republican, a conservative republican but is in some sense

at odds with president trump a potential rival for the presidential nomination. i think there are potential serious constitutional problems that could happen very quickly. >> interesting perspective. as news of the indictment broke, we helped you be among the first to know by sending this pushilin late. download the abc 7 bay area news app for your smartphone so you will get breaking news alerts as they happen. concern in the bay area. the mayor of antioch is warning of a decrease and police controls which may impact public safety. it comes as a second round of police officers are being put on leave following an fbi or state investigation. >> the mayor of antioch is issuing a warning. >> we are going to see a reduction in our police force because of the investigation. >> an ongoing investigation into the antioch police department began with allegations of excessive force and involving
