Good morning from Washington, where The Justice Department’s detailed case against Donald Trump regarding classified documents seems bound to further divide Americans.

Sixty years ago today, Army veteran and civil rights leader Medgar Evers is shot and killed outside his home  in Jackson, Mississippi; Evers’ killer, an avowed white supremacist, will not be convicted until 1994.
