Former President Donald Trump has been indicted on four felony charges for his alleged involvement to overturn the 2020 election results, AP News reports.
The indictment includes charges of:
– Conspiracy to defraud the United States
– Conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding
– Obstruction of an official proceeding
– Conspiracy against the right to vote
The indictment cites Trump’s false claims, pressure on local election officials, and attempts to undermine the election results.
The indictment alleges that Trump sought to exploit the Capitol riot to further delay the certification of Joe Biden’s victory.
This is the third criminal case against Trump, and the first time a former president is facing legal consequences for trying to block the transfer of power.
