Former United States President Donald Trump has been accused of taking over the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021. This was reported by The New York Times.
Trump is charged with four counts at once. He can be found guilty of conspiracy to deceive the State, conspiracy to obstruct official process, attempt to obstruct official process, and conspiracy to violate rights. Prosecutors believe the former president wanted to stay in power after losing the election.
Prosecutors say Trump deliberately repeated false data about fraud during the presidential election. They believe that the politician deliberately tried to create in American society “a tense atmosphere of mistrust and anger” and “undermine public confidence in the electoral process.”
In addition to Trump, six other people became defendants in the Capitol seizure case. Among them are lawyers who, according to prosecutors, “spread unsubstantiated allegations of forgery.” In relation to the new accusation, the former US president must inform the Washington police. After that, he will appear before the court, which will choose a restraining measure for him.
Previously, Elon Musk allowed Donald Trump to return to Twitter. Before that, the owner of the network organized a survey among subscribers. We talk about it in more detail here.
