Trump Charged for Election Meddling

2023-08-02 26

Former President Donald Trump was indicted by a grand jury for multiple alleged crimes, including conspiracy to defraud the United States, obstructing an official proceeding, attempting to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiring against people's civil rights to have their votes counted—the most serious charge carrying a maximum potential sentence of 20 years in prison. The 45-page indictment also implicates six unnamed co-conspirators, including Trump's former lawyer Rudy Giuliani, in significant legal jeopardy. This is the third indictment against Trump since March, with other charges relating to mishandling classified documents and falsifying business records in New York.
