1:00Now PlayingIn an indictment filed in federal court in Washington Aug. 1, Trump was charged with three criminal conspiracies to subvert the 2020 presidential election.
He’s accused of trying to undermine the counting of votes and the certification of the results; with obstructing a congressional investigation into attacks on the US Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 as Congress was making that certification; and with conspiring against people’s right to vote and to have their votes counted.
The charges from the office of Special Counsel John L. “Jack” Smith carry penalties of as much as 20 years in prison. The Democrat-led House of Representatives committee that investigated the Capitol riot had recommended that the Justice Department charge Trump with insurrection.
Such criminal referrals from Congress carry no legal weight on their own, and the charge is not part of the indictment.
