Speaking indictment explained

In the United States, a speaking indictment is an indictment that goes beyond the legally required statement of the elements of the charged offense(s) by including a narrative of the alleged underlying conduct in more detail.[1] Speaking indictments have been used in several special counsel probes, including the federal prosecution of Donald Trump,[2] as part of the Mueller Inquiry into Russian interference with the American political process.[3] [4]
