Federal Jan. 6 Indictment: 4 Counts Including Conspiracy

Special Counsel Jack Smith indicts Trump on four federal counts related to efforts to overturn the 2020 election: conspiracy to defraud the United States, obstruction of Congress, conspiracy to obstruct Congress, and deprivation of civil rights. Trump pleads not guilty. The case is stayed pending SCOTUS's immunity ruling, which significantly narrows it. Smith drops the case after Trump's 2024 victory per DOJ policy.
