Special counsel Jack Smith delivered remarks Tuesday after former President Donald Trump was indicted on charges stemming from efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
The indictment accuses Trump of taking part in three criminal conspiracies: “to defraud the United States by using dishonesty, fraud and deceit” to obstruct the electoral vote process; to “impede the January 6 congressional proceeding at which the collected results of the presidential election are counted and certified;” and “against the right to vote and to have that vote counted.”
He’s due to be arraigned on the charges on Thursday. The following link include the full indictment: Case 1:23-cr-00257-TSC Document 1 Filed 08/01/23 Page 1 of 45
