Donald Trump will be arraigned Thursday afternoon, and who ever thought that statement would come to feel like “been there, done that”? Trump is scheduled to appear at the Elijah Barrett Prettyman Federal Courthouse in Washington, D.C., at 4 PM ET, to be arraigned on four federal criminal charges relating to his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, which he lost.
Trump is charged with conspiracy to defraud the U.S. government, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights. He’s expected to plead not guilty to all four, with one of Trump’s lawyers, John Lauro, telling CBS News that Trump has a “smoking gun of innocence.” (Nothing says innocence like a smoking gun.)
