Trump has been charged with trying to influence the 2020 election

It is the third time that Donald Trump has been charged with a crime after a federal grand jury accused him of trying to rig the 2020 presidential election.

The 77-year-old Republican is accused of plotting to defraud the US, deny voters their right to vote, and attempt to hinder an official investigation, according to Special Counsel Jack Smith’s indictment.

The indictment makes false assertions that there was election fraud that determined the outcome and that Trump had won. Additionally, Trump is charged in the indictment with using illegal methods to invalidate valid votes and tamper with election results.

Six co-conspirators, four attorneys, a political consultant, and a Justice Department employee who handled civil cases are included in the indictment. Trump claims there is no wrongdoing and calls the allegations “ridiculous.”

  • Republicans were accused of defrauding, voter denial, and hindering the investigation.
  • Trump denies wrongdoing and accuses six co-conspirators, attorneys, and political consultants.
  • Democrats and Republicans condemn the uprising as a subversive attempt.

Trump has now been charged three times, but this is the first time he has been publicly held responsible for his attempts to rig the 2020 presidential election in the months before the violent riot at the US Capitol.

Nancy Pelosi, a former speaker of the House, praised the accusations and argued that the former President is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer described the uprising as a terrible attempt to subvert the will of the American people and obstruct the orderly transfer of power.

The most serious and significant indictment to date will serve as a sobering reminder to future generations of Americans that no one, not even the president of the United States, is above the law.
