On August 3rd local time, former US President Trump arrived at the Washington D.C. District Court in the afternoon to appear in court for the first time in a criminal investigation attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
On August 1st, a federal grand jury in the United States filed four criminal charges against Trump for allegedly attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election results: conspiring to defraud the United States, obstructing official proceedings, obstructing and attempting to obstruct official proceedings, and conspiring to infringe on the rights of others. The most serious charges can result in a maximum sentence of 20 years imprisonment. Trump pleaded not guilty to all four charges during his response on the 3rd.
On the afternoon of the 3rd, Trump flew from his summer residence in New Jersey to Washington to answer the lawsuit. Before departure, he posted on his social media platform, saying, "I am going to Washington today and will be arrested for challenging a fraudulent, manipulated, and stolen election."
This is the third time Trump has been criminally charged since stepping down in 2021. In June of this year, he was accused of mishandling classified documents. In addition, Trump also faces multiple charges in New York State court, including falsifying business records, on suspicion of paying a "sealing fee" to a pornographic star during his first presidential campaign. Previously, he pleaded not guilty to the criminal charges involved in the cases of "sealing fees" and "improper handling of confidential documents".
