Former President Donald Trump said Thursday he is heading to Washington, D.C., to be arraigned on criminal charges stemming from his efforts to overturn his loss in the 2020 presidential election.
The hearing before a federal magistrate judge will take place at 4 p.m. ET, according to the Department of Justice.
Trump said on social media that he is en route to Washington, D.C., for his arrest and arraignment on charges of conspiring to overturn his 2020 election loss.
“I AM NOW GOING TO WASHINGTON, D.C., TO BE ARRESTED FOR HAVING CHALLENGED A CORRUPT, RIGGED, & STOLEN ELECTION,” Trump wrote on Truth Social at 12:01 p.m. ET.
“IT IS A GREAT HONOR, BECAUSE I AM BEING ARRESTED FOR YOU. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”
Special counsel Jack Smith’s indictment alleges a monthslong effort by Trump and a half-dozen co-conspirators to overturn his 2020 election loss through a shifting, multi-layered conspiracy that ran afoul of multiple federal statutes.
Trump is accused of perpetrating three criminal conspiracies:
- A conspiracy to defraud the United States “by using dishonesty, fraud, and deceit to impair, obstruct, and defeat” the lawful certification of President Joe Biden’s electoral victory.
- A conspiracy “to corruptly obstruct and impede” the Jan. 6, 2021, congressional proceeding where the Electoral College results were certified, and
- A conspiracy against “the right to vote and to have one’s vote counted.”
Prosecutors say the first of those conspiracies violated 18 U.S.C. § 371, Conspiracy to Defraud the United States.
The second conspiracy violated 18 U.S.C. § 1512(k), Conspiracy to Obstruct an Official Proceeding, they allege.
The third conspiracy allegedly violated 18 U.S.C. § 241, Conspiracy Against Rights.
The four-count indictment also charges Trump with violating 18 U.S.C. §§ 1512(c)(2), 2, Obstruction of an Attempt to Obstruct an Official Proceeding.

If Trump really believes what he says, he is mentally ill and unfit for office.
If he knows the statements are false, he’s a serial liar.
This man is epic !!
Trump 2024!!!
yaakov doe said it correctly
He may be being arrested but not for me in the way Trump views it. I like to see criminals arrested, so in that way he’s doing it for me. In just over 2 weeks the matter of pursuing justice will be read from the Torah and those words were frequently uttered by by friend Charles Hynes.
i didn’t see anything illegal here
Freedom of speech is allowed in US just for demarcates not for replicants
what’s for sure not legal is to take $5,000,000.00 which is verified by the banks that Mr. Biden got it from someone…..
not clear yet but that’s ok
CORRUPT
Being arrested for me??? I didn’t do anything, and if he hadn’t done anything, he wouldn’t have been arrested again today!
Imagine Al Capone or John Gotti declaring they were being arrested “for you”.
I believe he does represent We The People. He was a great president. Gas was going down, the embassy was moved in Israel to the capital, inflation was going down. The only thing he did not do was arrest Hillary, Obama, Biden, and Pelosi for sedition and Treason.
What the Communist-crats are doing to Donald Trump has to be one of the greatest crimes ever committed against the United States and its justice system.
I hope the “Orthocrats” (Orthodox Democrats) are enjoying this.
After the Communist-crats lock up their political opponents, they will then come after their real opponents, religious Americans.
Like Trump or not, he definitely did not do this for “you”. He did it for himself.
Regardless of who I’d want for President, and i personally don’t care much for any party, I do see this whole affair as another RUSSIAN HOAX. Add to these false impeachment charges, it is obvious that there is a big problem with the “justice” system in America which allows the opposing party to attempt to destroy someone, especially a former President running again along with those associated with him in order to keep the power for themselves. This is way beyond terrible. I’m wondering if this is the “fall of Essau.”
I have a great idea. I think we need to find out when the next piece of excrement is going to hit the fan with Joe Biden or Hunter no experience Biden, so that we know that the following day, yet again, President Trump will be indicted on something.
Trump 2024!
The election was clearly stolen. But since we are in a false world and cant prove it, there is nothing we can do but beg for Moshiach to come. On the other hand, Trump is not a liar on this particular issue. Just trying to fight the almost impossible. At the end he will win. שקר אין לו רגלים ואמת מארץ תצמח
This man is amazing. He could have enjoyed a comfortable easy life with his model wife and kids and grandkids and not a worry in the world.
Instead, he chose to fight for this country, to give us one last chance to restore America to the way it is supposed to be, to the way it was founded.
Truly a historical figure, who will be remembered for as long as this country exists, while the crooks and mental midgets opposing him will be surely forgotten.
May HKB”H bless President Trump with a resounding victory over all his (and our) enemies!
Can only say if Trump is at this position Bidens course should draw life In prison
