We have never had a situation where a sitting president is accused of plotting basically the overthrow of democracy itself. Thursday, former President Donald Trump will appear in federal court in a historic case. Facing charges for what legal experts say is the most important criminal case in u. S. History. This indictment is a conspiracy not just a lie, but 2 develop a whole slate of electors to change the outcome of a democratic George Washington law professor paul schiff, berman says the 45 page indictment lays out a clear case against trump but trumps legal team says the former president was only following the advice of legal advisors. And trump allies like senator Tommy Tuberville say the charges are a political interference with the upcoming election. I think the American People really get sadly, the president was surrounded by a group of crackpot lawyers that kept telling him what is it years wanted to hear trumps former vp and now president ial rival mike pence in jumping to trumps defense. I want the American People to know that i had no right to overturn the election. And then on that day, President Trump asked me to put him over the constitution, but i chose the constitution. Again, trump denies all wrongdoing and to win this case, the prosecution will have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that trump knew he lost the election but chose to partake in that plot to remain in office.
