We begin with Breaking News in one of the special counsels investigations of donald trump. A Federal Grand Jury here in washington has voted to indict the former president for his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 president ial election. Among the charges include conspiracy to defraud the united states, obstruction of an official proceeding, and a civil rightsera law that makes it a crime to oppress, threaten, or intimidate a person of their free exercise or enjoyment of any right in the constitution. It is just the second time in American History that the Department Of Justice has filed criminal charges against a current or former u. S. President. Special counsel jack smith announced the indictment just moments ago. Todays charges are related to trumps attempts to challenge the result of an election he lost, plans for fake electors and his role in the january 6th attack on the u. S. Capitol. Trump responded to todays news on his social media account, Calling Smith deranged and the indictment election interference. Cbs news robert costa has todays latebreaking details and starts us off tonight. Robert, good evening. Reporter good evening, major. An historic day with the former president and the current republican frontrunner donald trump accused by the Justice Department of spearheading a criminal conspiracy against the united states. According to the indictment, for more than two months following election day, the defendant spread lies that there was fraud in the election, and he had actually won. These claims were false, and the defendant knew they were false. The former president was also charged with impeding the january 6th congressional proceeding where the 2020 election outcome was to be verified and led to the storming of the capitol by trump supporters. The attack on our nations capitol on january 6th, 2021, was an unprecedented assault on the seat of american democracy. It is described in the indictment, it was fueled by lies. Lies by the defendant. Reporter the indictment lists six unnamed coconspirators. To the actions described possibly match of the conduct of former attorney rudy giuliani, john eastman, and a former Justice Department official. The indictment also says that trump and some coconspirators attempted to reach senators late on january 6th to delay the Certification Vote even more so that they could get states to object to the count. Sources tell cbs news former President Trumps legal team is now mapping out a new strategy to push back on the charges, shifting blame onto lawyers, who were advising him at the time of the aftermath of the 2020 election. In a recent social media post, trump noted his attorneys met with the Department Of Justice, saying they explained in detail that i did nothing wrong and was advised by many lawyers. Sources say the strategy could involve trying to pin blame on john eastman, trumps former lawyer, who sought to have former Vice President mike pence refuse to certify the 2020 president ial Election Results and presented trump with a memo outlining a plan to do so. But those familiar with the special counsels Work Say Terms Conduct is being deeply investigated, and that prosecutors are skeptical that trump was just following advice. Just because an attorney gives you advice, an attorney does not provide a defense if the attorney is suggesting you go out and violate a criminal law. That is not t a defense. Reporter The Next Step in this process will come on thursday, when former President Donald Trump has been summoned to appear in washington before The Grand Jury in federal court. Major robert, lets talk about the trumps potential lines of defense. The indictment lists six unindicted coconspirators, and the president has said on his social media accounts, or at least implied, that he was taking advice, could this i was just taking advice from lawyers provide him with the means by which to defend himself against these charges . Reporter that is the defense that is being mounted by former President Trumps legal team but as a federal prosecutor just told cbs news, just because a lawyer advises you something doesnt necessarily mean you have to take that advice, and if the lawyer is advising you on something that could be breaking the law, you would be breaking the law if you go along with that advice. So the special counsel, based on our reporting, does not believe that trumps argument is going to hold water, as this case moves forward, and instead they are focusing on the advice trump got and also how he tried to push the lawyers along and to say to them, lets try to make this happen and have me stay in power. Major robert costa, thank you so much for being with us. John dickerson is with us. John, if you can, its a big lift, put this indictment in historical and political context. Reporter well, it is the most powerful person in the american system attacking the central pillar of the system, a free and fair election, and he is using the power to attack the system that he was given in order to protect the system. Thats what happened in the last election. He is now asking to be rewarded for that behavior by being reelected to the office, and he very well, according to the polls, and as you know well from covering this race looks like he will be rewarded, and in the final kicker, the person who held the line on january 6th, his Vice President , who stood up for the system to protect it, is doing so poorly in the republican race, he may not even make the debate stage to be in a position to call his former boss to account for attacking the system. Major it was a big lift, carried out beautifully. John dickerson, thank you so much. We turn now to the case of the suspected gilgo beach Serial Killer on new yorks long island.
