Donald Trump remains defiant, but this indictment over alleged 2020 election interference could be the most serious yet

ABC  

In the two and a half years since Donald Trump's supporters stormed the US Capitol, more than 1,000 people have been charged. Photo shows Five pieces of paper are displayed overlapping each other, all pages of an indictment against Donald Trump, outlining charges Donald Trump has been formally indicted for a third time, over alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election that culminated in the January 6 insurrection. Inside court, Lauro pushed back on the prosecution's calls for a "speedy" trial, arguing Trump's team would need time to mount a fair defence. Legal experts view this as the most serious indictment the former president has faced, as it "directly implicates American democracy". "There's a big first amendment issue here, that the president has a right to say what he thinks and shouldn't be stifled by the fear of having a criminal prosecution brought against him," she said.
