Trump made his first appearance in court in an attempt to overturn the 2020 US election results
According to the website of Newsweek on the 3rd, a federal judge in the United States responded to the death penalty rumors during Trump's trial that day.
On the afternoon of the 3rd local time, Trump appeared in court on suspicion of overturning the 2020 US election results. The prosecution accuses Trump of conspiring to deceive the United States, obstructing official procedures, obstructing/attempting to obstruct official procedures, and conspiring to violate civil rights. For the final charge, there were rumors earlier that Trump may face the death penalty. But Magistrate Mosila Upadiaya clarified during the trial that the maximum sentence for conspiring to violate civil rights is 10 years imprisonment.

The pre-trial on that day was Trump's third criminal prosecution since stepping down in 2021, and his second time being prosecuted by the federal government. Trump denies any misconduct in all current cases against him. Before the trial, several former federal prosecutors reminded judges that the series of actions taken by Trump against federal prosecutors must be resolved. Trump has repeatedly criticized the prosecution and the US Department of Justice, calling the special prosecutor "crazy" and accusing the prosecution of weaponizing the federal government to deal with him.
