Former US President Donald Trump has been criminally charged for trying to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
The four-count, 45-page indictment unsealed on Tuesday, charges Trump with conspiring to defraud the United States by preventing Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s victory and conspiring to deprive voters of their right to a fair election.
The former president has been ordered to make an initial appearance in federal court in Washington, DC, on Thursday. It marks the third time this year that Trump, who is the early frontrunner in the 2024 Republican presidential primary, has been charged in a criminal case.
Trump has said he did nothing wrong and has accused Special Counsel Jack Smith, who led the investigation against him, and the Justice Department of trying to harm his 2024 campaign.
Former Vice President Mike Pence, who is running for the nomination and has accused Trump of pressuring him to help overturn the results of the 2020 election, said the indictment showed the former president’s unfitness for office.
