Revised Summary: The United States of America has filed a lawsuit against Donald J. Trump, the 45th President, in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. The suit alleges that Trump conspired to defraud the United States, obstruct an official proceeding, and conspire against rights following the 2020 presidential election. The plaintiff contends that Trump knowingly disseminated false claims about election fraud, undermining public trust in the election process and unlawfully attempting to invalidate legitimate votes to overturn the election results. The indictment details three criminal conspiracies: one to defraud the United States by hindering the federal government's function of collecting, counting, and certifying election results; another to obstruct the congressional proceeding on January 6 for the certification of the presidential election; and a third against the right to vote and to have one's vote counted. Trump is alleged to have recruited co-conspirators, including attorneys and a Justice Department official, to aid him in his efforts to reverse the election results. The lawsuit asserts that Trump and his co-conspirators orchestrated a scheme to manipulate the 2020 presidential election results by organizing fraudulent electors in seven states (Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin), imitating legitimate electoral procedures, and casting fraudulent votes for Trump. They are also accused of attempting to misuse the Justice Department to conduct spurious election crime investigations and falsely present fraudulent electors as a valid alternative to legitimate ones. When the Vice President declined to alter the results, Trump and his co-conspirators allegedly incited a violent attack on the Capitol to obstruct the certification proceeding. The lawsuit further alleges that Trump, following the November 3, 2020 election, engaged in a criminal scheme to subvert the legitimate election results and alter electoral votes. Trump and his co-conspirators are accused of using deceit to persuade state officials to interfere with the election results. They falsely claimed that voting machines in various contested states had switched votes from him to Biden, despite his Attorney General and Acting Deputy Attorney General explaining that this was false. In Arizona and Georgia, Trump and his co-conspirators falsely asserted that a substantial number of non-citizens, non-residents, and deceased individuals had voted fraudulently. They attempted to convince the Arizona House Speaker to call the legislature into session to hold a hearing based on their claims of election fraud and to replace the legitimate electors with a new slate for Trump. These attempts were refused. The lawsuit also involves allegations of election fraud and misconduct in Georgia and Michigan. Trump is accused of spreading false claims about the 2020 election, pressuring the Georgia Attorney General to support an election lawsuit, and making false claims about election workers at State Farm Arena, leading to these workers receiving death threats. Trump also allegedly pressured Georgia's Secretary of State to alter the state's popular vote count. Lastly, the lawsuit alleges that Trump knowingly made false claims about the 2020 election results in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Trump is accused of spreading misinformation about voter fraud and illegitimate ballots, despite being informed by various officials that these claims were false. Trump also allegedly attempted to pressure state officials into overturning the election results and appointing new electors. Despite these efforts, the election results were upheld in all four states. The lawsuit also alleges that Trump organized fraudulent slates of electors and caused them to transmit false certificates to Congress. The lawsuit seeks to hold Trump accountable for these alleged actions.
