Donald Trump Faces Indictment for Post-Presidential Crimes

Charges Stem from Efforts to Overturn 2020 Election

Trump Denounces Case as "Witch Hunt"

Former President Donald Trump is facing potential criminal prosecution for actions he allegedly committed to overturn the 2020 presidential election. The Manhattan District Attorney's office has been investigating Trump's conduct for months and is reportedly close to issuing an indictment.

The charges are expected to include obstruction of justice, election fraud, and conspiracy. The investigation focuses on Trump's efforts to pressure state officials to change the election results, as well as his alleged involvement in the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Trump has repeatedly denounced the investigation as a "witch hunt" and accused prosecutors of being politically motivated. He has also claimed that he has evidence that the election was stolen from him, but has provided no credible proof.

If an indictment is issued, Trump would become the first former president in American history to face criminal charges.
