Former U.S. President Donald Trump arrived at a Washington courtroom on Thursday (August 3) to face charges he led a wide-ranging conspiracy built on lies to overturn the 2020 presidential election, culminating in an attack on the seat of American democracy.
Trump, the front-runner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, left his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, and headed to the airport just after 1 p.m. ET (1700 GMT), about three hours before his scheduled court appearance.
He was expected to enter a plea of not guilty before a magistrate judge, half a mile (1 km) 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.
