Donald Trump was indicted for a third time on Tuesday, 1 August after a grand jury in Washington DC charged the ex-president on four counts related to his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election and incite the US Capitol riot of January 6.
This comes after he has already been indicted twice this year – first in New York over the alleged misrepresentation of business records to conceal hush money payments he is accused of making to porn star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election campaign and second over his alleged mishandling of classified documents since leaving the White House, the latter case seeing him become the first former president in American history to be arrested on federal criminal charges.
