as posted by the channel

Former President Donald Trump was arraigned in Washington, DC, federal court Thursday for allegedly trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

Trump, 77, surrendered to law enforcement and pleaded not guilty to a four-count indictment from the Justice Department for disrupting the peaceful transfer of power with his “stolen” election claims that culminated in the storming of the US Capitol building by hundreds of his supporters on Jan. 6, 2021.

Special counsel Jack Smith charged the former president with conspiracy to defraud the US government, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding and conspiracy against rights.

The indictment states Trump made “knowingly false” claims about the 2020 election and unlawfully pressured former Vice President Mike Pence and various state officials to reject President Biden’s victory.
