Donald Trump Indicted on 37 Counts
Former President Faces Felony Charges
Breaking News from AP News
Former President Donald Trump has been indicted by a federal grand jury in connection with his alleged role in efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. The indictment, which was unsealed on Friday, includes 37 counts of falsifying business records, conspiring to defraud the United States, and obstruction of justice.
The charges stem from Trump's efforts to pressure state officials to change the results of the election, which he falsely claimed had been stolen from him. The indictment alleges that Trump directed his associates to create false electoral certificates and to submit them to Congress in an attempt to overturn the election results.
Trump has denied the charges and has vowed to fight them in court. However, if convicted, he could face significant prison time.
The indictment is a major development in the ongoing investigation into Trump's conduct surrounding the 2020 election. It is also likely to have a significant impact on the upcoming 2024 presidential election, in which Trump is considering running again.
