Trump's "Criminal Conspiracy"
The January 6 Committee presented evidence of Trump's "criminal conspiracy" to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
Attorneys for the House detail in a court filing their evidence of how Trump and his inner circle "engaged in criminal and/or fraudulent acts" including spreading false information about the 2020 election, illegally pressuring state officials, and "pressuring the Vice President to violate his duty to count the electoral certificates presented from certain States."
