Trump's Second Indictment in Two Months

This is his second indictment in two months. Why do people seem so agitated about this one in particular? What makes this one so serious? I think this is a different order of magnitude from the state charges that he faces in new York. Those were charges of tax evasion to conceal payments to two women who allege affairs with Donald Trump and were given large sums of money to keep quiet about it basically before the 2016 election. As Trump himself has pointed out, when you add up all the years for each individual charge in the federal indictment, it comes to 400 years in prison. So I think that's why the federal charges are more serious all round.
