Following an investigation into the riots at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, Trump was hit with an indictment that claims the then-president allegedly tried to get election officials in seven states to 'subvert the legitimate election results and change electoral votes." Trump is alleged to have been engaged in a "conspiracy to defraud the United States" by using "dishonesty, fraud and deceit." Special Counsel Jack Smith, in charge of the investigation into Trump, said: "The attack on our nation's capital on January 6 2021 was an unprecedented assault on the seat of American democracy. "As described in the indictment it was fuelled by lies." Trump, due to be arrested by the FBI, branded the charges "ridiculous" and denies them. In response to the indictment, the Trump team put out a bizarre statement, comparing his treatment to Nazi Germany. The unhinged rant read: "The lawlessness of these persecutions of President Trump and his supporters is reminiscent of Nazi Germany in the 1930s, the former Soviet Union, and other authoritarian, dictatorial regimes. President Trump has always followed the law and the Constitution, with advice from many highly accomplished attorneys." The charges add to Trump's legal woes and it is the third criminal indictment issued against him this year. State prosecutors in Georgia are investigating if Trump pressured state officials to throw out President Joe Biden's victory, while there are charges against him in New York City alleging he is responsible for falsifying business records in regards to hush money payment paid to adult film star Stormy Daniels. Trump has also denied 37 counts of illegally retaining classified documents and obstructin){kind=link}
