- Story Text: With just hours to go before former U.S. president Trump arrives in Washington, D.C., the U.S. capital boosted security and placed barriers around the district court where the former U.S. president will face election conspiracy charges. Outside the court, a line of journalists got increasingly longer as media waited to be allowed inside.
Trump, the front-runner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, is scheduled to appear in a magistrate's courtroom at 4 p.m. ET (2000 GMT) in Washington, D.C., half a mile from the U.S. Capitol, the building his supporters stormed on Jan. 6, 2021, to try to stop Congress from certifying his defeat.
Trump faces four counts, including conspiracy to defraud the U.S., to deprive citizens of their right to have their votes counted and to obstruct an official proceeding.
The most serious charge carries a maximum prison sentence of 20 years.
This is Trump's third indictment in four months.
