Breaking News and Updates

Former President Donald Trump was indicted on Tuesday in connection with his widespread efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. The charges, announced by the Fulton County District Attorney's Office in Georgia, include solicitation of election fraud, conspiracy to commit election fraud, racketeering, and making false statements.

The indictment alleges that Trump and his staff attempted to delete surveillance camera video from the Georgia State Capitol building on January 6, 2021, after a mob of Trump supporters stormed the building in an attempt to prevent the certification of Joe Biden's victory.

Trump was scheduled to hold a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday evening when he was rushed off stage after loud bangs were heard. According to witnesses, Trump appeared to be injured and was taken to a nearby hospital. The condition of the shooter and the two spectators who were critically injured is currently unknown.

The shooting incident and the indictment of Trump are the latest developments in the ongoing legal and political fallout from the 2020 election. Trump has repeatedly made unsubstantiated claims that the election was stolen from him and has refused to concede defeat.
