TL;DR Summary

The indictment follows an inquiry into the events surrounding the January 6th riot at the US Capitol. Trump, who denies wrongdoing, has already been charged in two other cases. The indictment accuses him of a "conspiracy to impair, obstruct, and defeat the federal government function through dishonesty, fraud, and deceit." Trump is due to appear in court on Thursday.
