He is charged with four counts: conspiracy to violate rights, conspiracy to deceive the government, and obstruction of an official investigation and conspiracy to that end. Trump faces up to five years in prison for two of these charges and up to 20 for the rest.
Trump later told supporters in an email Wednesday that he could face up to 561 years in prison after he was indicted by the Justice Department in connection with his efforts to cancel the 2020 election. he could face a combined 561 years in prison for left-wing witch-hunts,” he said.
The former president himself admitted before the start of the hearing that he was ready to be arrested on charges of assaulting the Capitol. “I am going to Washington to be arrested for contesting a fraudulent and stolen election,” he wrote on his social media. “It is a great honor because I will be arrested for you.”
