A federal grand jury in Washington D.C. has indicted former President Donald Trump on 37 felony counts related to alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. The indictment, brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith, alleges that Trump conspired with others to obstruct the transfer of power and violate the law. This marks a historic moment in American politics as it is the first time a former president has faced criminal charges for his actions during the transition of power.
