Federal prosecutors have filed sweeping criminal charges against former U.S. President Donald Trump, accusing him of participating in a coordinated effort to undermine the peaceful transfer of power after the 2020 presidential election. The indictment, brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith, alleges that Trump engaged in multiple schemes designed to overturn the certified results of the election won by Joe Biden. At the heart of the case are serious accusations including conspiracy to defraud the United States, obstruction of an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights that prosecutors say undermined voters’ constitutional protections.
