The charges, brought by the special counsel Jack Smith in Federal District Court in Washington, emerged from a sprawling federal investigation into Trump’s attempts to cling to power after losing the election to President Biden. Trump was charged on four counts: conspiracy to defraud the U.S., conspiracy to threaten the rights of others, and one count each of conspiracy and obstruction of an official proceeding before Congress. Convictions on the first two would carry a sentence of up to five years in prison each; the obstruction charges carry up to 20 years. Prosecutors said Trump had six co-conspirators, but did not name them.
