For his third indictment, Trump faces four charges: conspiracy to defraud the United States; conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding; obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding; and conspiracy against rights, all for which he has denied wrongdoing.
The indictment in Washington, D.C., claimed Trump “was determined to remain in power” despite losing to President Joe Biden.
Prosecutors have been investigating if the former commander-in-chief attempted to thwart the transfer of power in the wake of the November 2020 presidential election or made efforts to interfere with the certification of Electoral College votes on January 6, 2021.
