Former President Donald Trump has been hit with a historic federal indictment tied to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election — just as he gains momentum in the 2024 race.
Prosecutors accuse Trump of spreading false fraud claims, pressuring officials, and trying to block Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s victory. The charges include conspiracy, obstruction, and violating voters’ civil rights.
This is Trump’s third criminal case this year, and it’s dividing the country. Critics see it as vital to protect democracy; supporters call it a political attack. The outcome could reshape Trump’s campaign — and how America holds former presidents accountable.
