Lies, fakery, theft and perjury: Trump's charges and how they could shape the US election | ITV News

The sweeping scope of these latest charges against Donald Trump is breathtaking.

The indictment paints a portrait of a grand conspiracy to interfere in the election results of a vital battleground state.

According to prosecutors, this wasn’t just a phone call to Brad Raffensperger pressuring him to find 11,780 extra votes, although that is included in count 28.

It is instead a litany of lies, fakery, forgery, theft, perjury and trespass – part of a concerted campaign prosecutors allege, to nobble the legitimate results of a democratic and free election.
