Former President Donald Trump was indicted on Tuesday in connection with his widespread efforts to overturn the 2020 election following a sprawling federal investigation.
Trump pleaded not guilty to 37 criminal charges during a historic arraignment in a Miami federal courthouse.
The charges include racketeering, conspiracy to commit racketeering, wire fraud, bank fraud, and making false statements to a financial institution.
- Racketeering: Accused of participating in a pattern of criminal activity through his business dealings.
- Conspiracy to commit racketeering: Alleged to have conspired with others to engage in racketeering activities.
- Wire fraud: Charged with using interstate wire communications to defraud multiple individuals and entities.
- Bank fraud: Accused of obtaining loans from banks by making false statements about his financial condition.
- Making false statements to a financial institution: Alleged to have provided false information to banks in loan applications.
The indictment alleges that Trump and his associates engaged in a "pattern of racketeering activity" that extended from 2004 to 2018.
