“Despite having lost, the defendant was determined to remain in power”, prosecutors wrote. The 6 January 2021 riot was “fueled by lies” — Mr. Trump’s lies. The gigantic ignoramus also known as Donald Trump has been indicted—yes, again!—on four criminal charges relating to his involvement on the 6 January 2021 revolt.
From The New York Times:
- Conspiracy to defraud the United States (1 count)
The charge against Mr. Trump details the various methods he and co-conspirators used to try to overturn the results of the 2020 election. - Related to efforts to obstruct the vote certification proceedings (2 counts)
Mr. Trump faces two charges involving the vote certification proceedings at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021: one of obstructing that process and one of conspiring to do so. - Conspiracy to violate civil rights (1 count)
Related to Mr. Trump’s attempts to reverse election results in states with close elections in 2020.

“Trump’s presidential bid is driven by an attempt to stay out of prison and scam his supporters into footing his legal bills…”
