Charges detail Trump's behind-the-scenes instructions to his VP Mike Pence and others.
Former U.S. president Donald Trump gave this speech on Jan. 6, 2021, urging supporters to head to the Capitol and pressing Republicans there to keep him in office. New criminal charges say he knew he was wrong, and perpetuated a fraud.
One need only look at Trump's strong score in recent opinion polls to draw skepticism that any of this makes a difference, that it weakens him in any way. "An unprecedented assault on the seat of American democracy," is how Smith described the events of Jan. 6, 2021.That famous defendant is scheduled to appear in a Washington, D.C., courtroom, on Thursday afternoon.
In another exchange involving Pence on Jan. 4, Trump's own lawyer allegedly told him his plans were impossible. It catalogs an exhaustive list of people who told the president it was over and that Biden had been elected president. Former U.S. vice-president Mike Pence kept notes. The indictment cites his notes of conversations where Trump pressed him repeatedly to block the election certification. Pence didn't listen. Here's Pence certifying the election on Jan. 6, 2021.
