Sexual abuse former president. But also the most important trial of our life times. The United States of america versus donald trump. Tomorrow, trump will be arraigned in a washington, d. C. Courtroom. Hes expected to plead not guilty to four criminal counts, conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct, conspiracy to violate the right to vote and obstruction of an official proceeding. This latest indictment of the former president handed down by special counsel jack smith is an incredibly detailed and damning account of an attempt to subvert democracy and forcibly overturn the 2020 election. It pulls from firsthand accounts including people very close to the president and sets up a potential block buster trial with star witnesses, including his former Vice President and countless maga senators and members of the and members of congress.

ripped their lives apart, their devastating personal stories were revealed today in the most emotional january 6th hearing yet. plus, new details on trump s highly illegal campaign to pressure state elections officials to install fake electors. just a few hours ago the house select committee investigating the january 6th insurrection laid out in clear terms just how broad donald trump s thirst for power and how deep his acceptance for violence really went. the committee outlined how trump knew he had lost but plowed ahead anyway with a plan to get what he wanted. part that have plan included a cordnated campaign of harassment where he and his allies repeatedly bullied state elections officials in key battleground states to reject ballots outright while also targeting local election officials with unfounded claims of fraud. privately he and his allies led by an unmoored rudy giuliani hounded officials while publicly waging a smear campaign fueled with lies that led to a wave o
