Federal criminal case against Donald Trump in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, charging him with conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights. The indictment alleged Trump spread false election fraud claims, pressured state officials and the DOJ to alter results, organized fraudulent electors in seven states, urged VP Pence to reject electoral votes, and used the Jan 6 rally to obstruct certification. A superseding indictment omitted allegations deemed official acts per the Supreme Court immunity ruling on 2024-07-01. The case was dismissed after Trump's 2024 election victory amid DOJ policy against prosecuting a sitting president.
