Donald Trump has been indicted as part of the Department of Justice's investigation into the events leading up to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
The riot was the culmination of efforts by Trump's supporters to block the certification of Biden's election.
The Justice Department, in a team led by Special Counsel Jack Smith, brought the charges.
Trump announced last month that Smith's team had served him a target letter indicating he may be indicted in the investigation.
Trump and six co-conspirators also attempted to rope then-Vice President Mike Pence in their scheme and use the Justice Department to keep Trump in power, the indictment alleges.
