In yet another indictment, Former President Donald Trump was charged on August 1, 2023, with 1 count, conspiracy to defraud the United States, 2 counts related to efforts to obstruct the vote certification proceedings, and 1 count conspiracy to violate civil rights.
The two previous indictments of Donald Trump focused on his personal conduct, one involving a sex scandal and the other his handling of classified documents. [This indictment] is different. It involves arguably the most central issue in a democracy: an attempt to subvert an American election.
