After losing to President Joe Biden in 2020, federal prosecutors accused him of scheming to win a second term. Special counsel, Jack Smith of the Justice Department, filed a 45-page indictment.
Trump faces four felony allegations, including conspiracy to defraud the US and obstruct an official action. The dossier details Trump’s purported tactics to undermine democracy and retain power despite the 2020 election’s unambiguous results.
