Former president Trump was indicted for a third time on Tuesday. This time, for multiple alleged crimes stemming from his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
The four-count, 45-page indictment accuses Trump of three distinct conspiracies, and charges that he conspired to defraud the U.S., conspired to obstruct an official proceeding and conspired against people’s rights. Trump, who is seeking to return to the White House in next year’s election, denied all wrongdoing. Special counsel Jack Smith, in a brief appearance, said his office would seek a speedy trial.
