Note: They're saying "alleged" because that's what journalists are supposed to do until there's a conviction. ABC isn't trying to cast doubt, they're trying to follow professional standards and also not get sued for libel.
"Former President Donald Trump, bent on staying in power, undertook a sweeping "criminal scheme" to overturn the results of the 2020 election, including repeatedly pushing lies about the results despite knowing that they were correct, and doubling down on those falsehoods as the Jan. 6 riot raged, a sweeping federal indictment alleges.
This is the third indictment faced by the former president, who -- as the Republican frontrunner in the 2024 presidential race -- continues to insist that the vote was rigged.
Prosecutors say the alleged scheme, which they say involved six unnamed co-conspirators, included enlisting a slate of so-called "fake electors" targeting several states; using the Justice Department to conduct "sham election crime investigations"; enlisting the vice president to "alter the election results"; and doubling down on false claims as the Jan. 6 riot ensued -- all in an effort to subvert democracy and stay in power.
The six alleged co-conspirators include several attorneys and a Justice Department official.
The sweeping indictment, based on the investigation by special counsel Jack Smith, charges Trump with four felony counts: conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights...
In the history of the country, no president or former president had ever been indicted prior to Trump's first indictment in April."

Guilt is not in question.
Republicans picking a guilty man speaks to the abundance of guilty white men in positions of conservative political and capitalist power.
Guilty white men see Trump as validating sexual abuse at home/work, chronic business failures despite generational inherited wealth, reflexive racism/misogyny while crying victim, and the endless small dick energy that rules the petty insecure, loveless lives of conservatives.

Trump 2024 - Now more than ever. The socialist democrats keep attacking America, stepping up the attacks daily. They show how much they fear President Trump every day with every new attack.
As always, never buy anything made in china.
Don't ever trust a democrat and NEVER leave your child alone with one.
