Donald Trump has been charged by the Justice Department for his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.Special Counsel Jack Smith, in a statement to reporters said: "The attack on our nation's capital on January 6, 2021 was an unprecedented assault on the seat of American democracy.""It was fueled by lies, lies by the defendant targeted at obstructing a bedrock function of the US government: The nation's process of collecting counting and certifying the results of the presidential election."The charges include conspiracy to defraud the United States government and witness tampering.It’s the third criminal case brought against the former president as he seeks to reclaim the White House.Trump is due in court on Thursday before U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan.The 45-page indictment said Trump after his 2020 loss was “determined to remain in power” and perpetrated conspiracies that targeted a “bedrock function of the United States federal government: the nation’s process of collecting, counting and certifying the results of the presidential election.”A Trump spokesperson likened the new indictment to “Nazi Germany in the 1930s, the former Soviet Union, and other authoritarian, dictatorial regimes,” calling them “un-American.”
