Former President Trump has been indicted by a Washington grand jury on charges stemming from his efforts to remain in power after losing the 2020 election.
The indictment comes after Trump pursued a multi-pronged plan to stay in office, turning to the Justice Department, state officials and even his own supporters, who ransacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 after former Vice President Mike Pence refused Trump’s request to overturn the election results.
Trump will face charges on four counts for three different crimes including for conspiring to deprive citizens the “free exercise” of constitutional rights like voting. |
