Mod: Now that Putinhas unleashed hell in Ukraine, isn't it time to hit him where it hurts and prosecute his most valuable American asset? Likelihood of criminal charges against Trump rising, experts say (The Guardianlink): The likelihood of a criminal investigation and charges against Donald Trump are rising due to allegations by a House panel of a “criminal conspiracy” involving his aggressive drive to overturn the 2020 election results, coupled with a justice department (DoJ) inquiry of a “false electors” scheme Trump loyalists devised to block Joe Biden’s election.
Former federal prosecutors say evidence is mounting of criminal conduct by
Trump that may yield charges against the ex- president for obstructing an official proceeding of
Congress on
6 January or defrauding the
US government, stemming from his weeks-long drive with top allies to thwart
Biden’s election by pushing false claims of fraud.
A
2 March court filing by the
House January 6 panel implicated
Trump in a “criminal conspiracy” to block
Congress from certifying
Biden’s win, and
Trump faces legal threats from justice department investigations under way into a “
false electors” ploy, and seditious conspiracy charges filed against
Oath Keepers who attacked the
Capitol, say department veterans.
The filing by the House panel investigating the 6 January assault on the Capitol by a mob of pro-Trump supporters stated that it has “a good-faith basis for concluding that the president and members of his campaign engaged in a criminal conspiracy to defraud the United States”.
