What we’re covering here

• Donald Trump has been indicted by a federal grand jury in special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election leading up to the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol, according to a court document.
• As part of the probe, Trump has been indicted on four 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.
• The former president is scheduled to appear at the Washington, DC, federal courthouse at 4 p.m. ET on Thursday.
• The indictment details Trump’s unprecedented pressure campaign to throw out the 2020 result. This is the third time Trump has been criminally indicted. Smith charged Trump in the classified documents probe in June, and a Manhattan grand jury charged the former president for business fraud in March. Trump, who is running for president in 2024, pleaded not guilty in both cases.
