FIRST ON FOX: Former President Trump was indicted Tuesday on charges stemming from Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigation into the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, Fox News Digital has learned.
Trump was indicted on four federal charges out of the probe, including 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.
This is the second federal indictment the former president faces out of Smith’s investigation. Trump, who leads the 2024 GOP presidential primary field, has already pleaded not guilty to 37 counts related to his alleged improper retention of classified records from his presidency.
Those charges include willful retention of national defense information, conspiracy to obstruct justice and false statements. Trump was charged with an additional three counts as part of a superseding indictment out of that probe last week.
This is the second time in U.S. history that a former president has faced federal criminal charges.
"This is nothing more than the latest corrupt chapter in the continued pathetic attempt by the Biden Crime Family and their weaponized Department of Justice to interfere with the 2024 Presidential Election, in which President Trump is the undisputed frontrunner, and leading by substantial margins," a Trump campaign spokesperson told Fox News Digital. "But why did they wait two and a half years to bring these fake charges, right in the middle of President Trump’s winning campaign for 2024? Why was it announced the day after the big Crooked Joe Biden scandal broke out from the Halls of Congress?"
"The answer is, election interference!" the spokesperson continued. "The lawlessness of these persecutions of President Trump and his supporters is reminiscent of Nazi Germany in the 1930s, the former Soviet Union, and other authoritarian, dictatorial regimes."

The spokesperson added: "Three years ago we had strong borders, energy independence, no inflation, and a great economy. Today, we are a nation in decline. President Trump will not be deterred by disgraceful and unprecedented political targeting!"
All the while the KKKlinton crime syndicate will walk scot free!
This is it! We got the Orange Man Bastard now!!!
and just where are the republican senators, representatives, governors, etc., probably all cowering under their desks fearful that if they speak out they will themselves be charged with some bogus offense?
Bkmk
and (no apology for watching) Dana Perino on Fox/The Five thinks this should make Trump want to do the Fox debate on Aug 23rd.
she would say that, wouldn’t she?
on the contrary, I don’t think Trump should go near any Republican debate. shame on those in the GOP who are challenging him.
Tucker's questions about Ray Eps should have a bearing.
Probably worried the FBI will release the pics. You know the ones of the senator with the little boy.
And this is what extremist progressive Marxist political persecution looks like, yet again. If Merrick Garfinkle Garland could just have Trump summarily executed without repercussions, he certainly would do.
Garfinkle would fit right in with the Lenin Bolshevic Central Committee and with Stalin on his Central Committee Secretariat. Viscous dude, no regard for rule of law, it is pure power play.
May Garfinkle reap what he sows and take his goof Smith with him.

President Trump requested 10,000 National Guard troops and Pelosi turned it down as was the D.C police captions request and Jack Smith wants to go after Trump.
It’s a pre-planed set up by the democrats and swamp members.
One person is responsible for it all Pelosi.
Above the law in action
June 1975. Operation Chaos. This is not new. Just in our faces not so secret anymore.
Took our fake government with its fake laws and phony "justice" system TWO AND A HALF YEARS to figure out that a crime was committed...
Can NOT WAIT for discovery where the election is concerned, we will FINALLY have the proof in a courtroom!!
