This includes allegations of organizing ”fraudulent slates of electors” in seven states, including Georgia, who would vote for him during the official certification process. The indictment, brought by Jack Smith, the special counsel appointed by the Biden administration to investigate Mr. Trump, accuses him of being involved in a “conspiracy to impair, obstruct, and defeat the federal government function through dishonesty, fraud, and deceit.” These charges are the most serious that the former president has faced thus far.
