On August 1st local time, Jack Smith, the special prosecutor responsible for conducting a criminal investigation into former US President Trump, delivered a speech after Trump was formally charged for the third time. Smith stated that filing a lawsuit against Trump for overturning the 2020 presidential election results is to ensure his criminal responsibility in the Capitol riot, and his office will seek a prompt trial of the case.
According to the indictment, Trump was charged with conspiracies involving six unnamed conspirators, who were accused of submitting fraudulent "electoral and caucus lists" to obstruct the authentication process, using the Department of Justice to conduct "false election crime investigations," recruiting former Vice President Pence to "change election results," and insisting on incorrect statements during the January 6 Capitol riot.
It is reported that Trump's initial court hearing on this case was held at 16:00 Eastern Time on the 3rd. According to the indictment disclosed on that day, Trump was charged with four crimes and will face up to 20 years in prison.
