Donald Trump, former US President, is a new charge facing four charges: Deceive the EE.UU, impede the official change of power procedure, promote conspiracy to impose other obstacles and exercise conspiracies against citizens' rights.

They all have a direct relationship with the 2020 electoral context. Because, although the former president lost the elections, he presented them as fraud and did not recognize Joe Biden as president. In this regard, the Prosecutor’s Office accuses him that all the lies spread caused the attack of the next Capitol. The advisers of the Republican Party recommended, among other things, that he recognize the presidency of Biden, even if it were against his opinion, to reduce the strength of the judicial charges that might apply to them, but he did not.

The special prosecutor Jack Smith explained the issue on Tuesday: “The autopsy of a plot to hinder the path of American democracy is the report that explains what is attributed to the former president.” On the contrary, Trump explains that “it is no coincidence” that the charge has come in the middle of the campaign. However, it will be able to continue the campaign when US legislation permits.

According to that report, the former president knew he had lost the elections, but he continued to conspire mentally. It also mentions the involvement of others: four lawyers, one member of the Department of Justice and one political adviser.
