The accusations against Trump in the indictment are serious, including charges of conspiring to defraud the United States, obstructing official proceedings, and violating citizens' rights. These allegations are the result of a thorough investigation by special counsel Jack Smith into Trump's actions following his election loss, which culminated in the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021. The opening page of the indictment bluntly states, "The Defendant lost the 2020 presidential election.
" It goes on to accuse Trump of attempting to cling to power by spreading false claims of victory for more than two months after the election on November 3, 2020. This latest legal development marks the third time in just four months that criminal charges have been brought against the former president. The indictment also names six co-conspirators, including Trump's legal advisor after the election, former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani. Upon the release of the indictment, Trump's re-election campaign was quick to denounce the charges. In a statement on Truth Social, the campaign likened the legal action to oppressive regimes of the past, drawing parallels to Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.Trump Charged for Attempting to Invalidate 2020 Election
