On Thursday, Donald Trump was charged with four federal crimes: conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy to violate constitutional rights.
The indictment alleges that he worked to undermine the 2020 election results by spreading false claims of widespread fraud, pressuring state and federal officials, and supporting efforts to submit alternate slates of electors.
Prosecutors say these actions were part of a coordinated attempt to block Congress from certifying the election results. According to the charges, Trump also sought to influence or delay official processes central to the peaceful transfer of power.
He has denied wrongdoing and argues that the case is politically motivated. The legal proceedings are ongoing, and the outcome will depend on the evidence presented in court.
