Trump Indicted on 41 Charges

Former President and Associates Face Federal Charges

Former President Donald Trump and more than a dozen of his associates have been indicted on 41 charges. The Justice Department announced the indictments on Thursday, June 9, 2023, at 2:21 PM EDT.

The indictment is the result of a two-year investigation by the Justice Department into Trump and his associates. The charges range from financial crimes to obstruction of justice.

The indictment alleges that Trump and his associates conspired to defraud the United States government by submitting false financial statements to banks and insurance companies. The indictment also alleges that Trump obstructed justice by interfering with the investigation into his campaign's ties to Russia.

Trump has denied the charges and has vowed to fight them in court. The indictment is likely to be a major factor in Trump's decision on whether to run for president in 2024.
