Special counsel Jack Smith’s Washington, D.C., grand jury has delivered a four-count, 45-page indictment against former President Donald Trump and listed six unnamed co-conspirators.
- Count 1: Conspiracy to Defraud the U.S.
- Count 2: Conspiracy to Obstruct an Official Proceeding.
- Count 3: Obstruction of an Attempt to Obstruct and Official Proceeding.
- Count 4: Conspiracy Against Rights.
Federal prosecutors say Trump was “determined to remain in power” in conspiracies that targeted a “bedrock function of the United States federal government: the nation’s process of collecting, counting, and certifying the results of the presidential election.”
This marks the second time the Department of Justice has indicted Trump, the first coming in the case involving his handling of classified documents.
Trump is due in court on Thursday before U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan.
