BREAKING: Federal grand jury investigating 2020 election returns a sealed indictment.
Donald Trump was indicted in Florida last month in a case related to his handling of classified documentsFormer President Donald Trump was indicted Tuesday in a sprawling Justice Department investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
Trump said last month he had received a letter from special counsel Jack Smith's office notifying him that he was a target of that investigation. Last week, Trump's legal team met with prosecutors at Smith's office in Washington, suggesting that an indictment would be coming soon. The investigation has focused on the turbulent two month-period after the November 2020 election in which Trump refused to accept his loss to Joe Biden and spread lies that victory was stolen from him. The turmoil resulted in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol, when Trump loyalists violently broke into the building, attacked police officers and disrupted the congressional counting of electoral votes.
In between the election and the riot, Trump urged local election officials to undo voting results in their states, pressured Vice President Mike Pence to halt the certification of electoral votes and falsely claimed that the election had been stolen — despite the fact that numerous federal and local officials, a long list of courts, top former campaign staffers and even his own attorney general have all said there is no evidence of the fraud he alleges.
