begin tonight with what is likely to be not only the most significant criminal case against

the twice impeached, thrice indicted, liable for sexual abuse former president.

But also the most important trial of our lifetimes, the United States of America versus Donald Trump.

Tomorrow, Trump will be arraigned in a Washington DC courtroom. He's expected to plead not guilty

to four criminal counts, conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct,

conspiracy to violate the right to vote, and obstruction of an official proceeding.

This latest indictment of the former president handed down by special counsel Jack Smith

is an incredibly detailed and damning account of an attempt to subvert democracy

and to forcibly overturn the 2020 election. It pulls from first hand accounts,

including people very close to the president and sets up a potential blockbuster trial

with star witnesses, including his former vice president and countless mega senators and members

of the and members of Congress. The core of the case is broken down into three parts.

The first part details how Trump was fully aware that he lost the election, full stop.

He was told point blank by multiple people, Republicans who he had hired

and who he trusted and who told him in no uncertain terms that he lost to Joe Biden.

But he went on to repeat lies about election fraud and a stolen election anyway.

The second part of the indictment describes the hair-brained dangerous scheme to get the department

of justice in on the act. Trump and co-conspirator number four believed to be an environmental lawyer

at the Justice Department named Jeffrey Clark. Tried to enlist the DOJ to go along with these lies

and tell Republican lawmakers in seven swing states that the US government believed in the fraud

allegations and that they should switch out the real electors who were chosen based on the popular

vote in their states for fake electors to overturn the election results in those states.
