Live updates: Trump indicted, to be arraigned on charges of trying to overturn 2020 election loss

The latest indictment of former president Donald Trump accuses him of making false claims of purported voter fraud in his attempts to overturn his 2020 election loss. A federal grand jury indicted him on four counts, including conspiracy to defraud the nation. Describing the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol as an “unprecedented assault on the seat of American democracy,” special counsel Jack Smith said the attack was “fueled by lies” from Trump. The former president is expected to appear, either in person or virtually, before a Washington federal court Thursday for his arraignment.
