Due to the 맥스카지노dishonesty, fraud and deceit맥스카지노 by Trump and some of his closest allies, the indictment says, his supporters 맥스카지노violently attacked the Capitol and halted the proceeding.맥스카지노 In the attack, his supporters beat and injured police officers and broke through windows and doors, sending lawmakers running for their lives.

Some takeaways from Tuesday's indictment:

Trump knew

As Trump schemed to overturn the 2020 election, many of his aides and allies were under no illusion that Trump 맥스카지노 a longtime provocateur 맥스카지노 had actually won.

Some aides directly refuted conspiracy theories stirred by Trump and his lawyer, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani. Others told him point blank he had lost.

맥스카지노There is no world, there is no option in which you do not leave the White House (o)n January 20th,맥스카지노 a unnamed deputy White House counsel told Trump, according to the indictment. Another wrote in an email: 맥스카지노I맥스카지노ll obviously hustle to help on all fronts, but it맥스카지노s tough to own any of this when it맥스카지노s all just conspiracy [expletive] beamed down from the mothership.맥스카지노

But Trump continued to tell 맥스카지노prolific lies,맥스카지노 the indictment says, about the outcome of the election, even after being warned of his false statements by top government officials 맥스카지노 citing thousands of dead voters in Georgia, an overcount in Pennsylvania and tens of thousands of noncitizen voters in Arizona. Those theories had been disputed by state and federal officials and even his own staff.

맥스카지노These claims were false, and the Defendant knew that they were false,맥스카지노 the indictment states.

At the same time, Trump privately acknowledged his loss. After the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff urged Trump to not take action on a national security issue, Trump agreed, according to the indictment.

맥스카지노Yeah, you맥스카지노re right, it맥스카지노s too late for us,맥스카지노 Trump said during a Jan. 3 meeting. 맥스카지노We맥스카지노re going to give that to the next guy.맥스카지노

All the while, he repeatedly tweeted and encouraged his supporters to come to Washington on Jan. 6.

Pence's memos

The indictment includes new details from former Vice President Mike Pence, who had fought efforts to answer questions about his role in presiding over the congressional certification.

Prosecutors cite Pence's 맥스카지노contemporaneous notes" about his interactions with Trump as the former president tried to convince him to delay or reject the legitimate election results on Jan. 6.

The indictment lists several conversations between Trump and Pence in those weeks, including some that were previously unknown. On Dec. 25, Pence called Trump to wish him a Merry Christmas, prosecutors said. But Trump "quickly turned the conversation to January 6 and his request that the Vice President reject electoral votes that day.맥스카지노 The vice president pushed back, telling Trump he didn't have the authority.

In another of the calls, on Jan. 1, Trump told Pence, 맥스카지노You맥스카지노re too honest,맥스카지노 according to the indictment.

Late night calls

The indictment says that Trump 맥스카지노redoubled맥스카지노 his efforts even in the late night hours after his supporters attacked the Capitol. It lays out several attempts by Trump, through his aides and co-conspirators, to contact multiple senators and at least one House member just before the two chambers reconvened to finally certify Biden맥스카지노s win.

At 7:01 p.m. that night, the indictment says, as Trump맥스카지노s allies were making calls, White House counsel Pat Cipollone called Trump to ask him to withdraw any objections and allow the certification. Trump refused, the indictment says.

맥스카지노As violence ensued, the Defendant and co-conspirators exploited the disruption by redoubling efforts to levy false claims of election fraud and convince Members of Congress to further delay the certification based on those claims,맥스카지노 the indictment says.

Fake electors duped into 'crazy play'

Early on, Trump맥스카지노s team orchestrated a scheme to enlist officials in seven states he had lost 맥스카지노 Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Nevada, New Mexico, Wisconsin 맥스카지노 to have them submit alternate election certificates saying he had actually won when Congress met to certify the vote Jan. 6.

The conspirators told most of the local officials that the certificates they were signing saying Trump won the election in their states would only be used if the court cases being waged over the election results showed that outcome.

But prosecutors allege that맥스카지노s not true.

What started as a legal strategy quickly evolved into a corrupt plan to stop Biden맥스카지노s count on Jan. 6, the indictment said.

Told by a colleague what was going on, Trump맥스카지노s deputy campaign manager called it a 맥스카지노crazy play.맥스카지노 They refused to put their names on a statement about it, because none of them could 맥스카지노stand by it.맥스카지노

The co-conspirators

The indictment alleges Trump enlisted six people to help him try to overturn the 2020 election. The six people are not explicitly named, but the indictment includes details that make it possible to identify most of them.

As 맥스카지노Co-Conspirator 1맥스카지노 and 맥스카지노Co-Conspirator 2," lawyers Rudy Giuliani and John Eastman are quoted from their remarks at the 맥스카지노Stop the Steal맥스카지노 rally prior to the riot urging Pence to throw out the votes of valid electors.

A third lawyer, Sidney Powell, named as 맥스카지노Co-Conspirator 3,맥스카지노 filed a lawsuit in Georgia that amplified false or unsupported claims of election fraud. The indictment quotes Trump as privately conceding Powell맥스카지노s claims sounded 맥스카지노crazy.맥스카지노

Jeffrey Clark, a Justice Department official who championed Trump맥스카지노s false claims of election fraud, is described as 맥스카지노Co-Conspirator 4.맥스카지노

맥스카지노Co-Conspirator 5맥스카지노 is lawyer Kenneth Chesebro, who the indictment says "assisted in devising and attempting to implement a plan to submit fraudulent slates of presidential electors to obstruct the certification proceeding.맥스카지노

맥스카지노Co-Conspirator 6맥스카지노 is an unknown political consultant who also assisted with the fake electors plan.

There are no known charges against the listed co-conspirators.

Giuliani aide Ted Goodman said in a statement that 맥스카지노every fact맥스카지노 the former New York City mayor had 맥스카지노establishes the good faith basis President Donald Trump had for the actions he took during the two-month period charged in the indictment.맥스카지노 Eastman lawyer Harvey Silverglate said his client denied any wrongdoing.

Congressional inspiration

Much of the evidence in the indictment 맥스카지노 including repeated efforts by White House advisers to tell Trump that he lost the election 맥스카지노 was first laid out by the Democrat-led House Jan. 6 committee last year.

In its final report issued in December, the committee said it was making several so-called criminal referrals for Trump to the Justice Department, including obstruction of an official proceeding and conspiracy to defraud the United States.

A criminal referral from Congress is not binding, but it is a formal notification from Congress to the Justice Department that lawmakers believe they have found criminal activity.

The panel맥스카지노s final report asserted that Trump criminally engaged in a 맥스카지노multi-part conspiracy맥스카지노 to overturn the results and failed to act to stop his supporters from attacking the Capitol.

Trump's mounting legal bills

The sheer number of investigations, criminal cases and lawsuits brought against Trump are unprecedented for a former president. The same could be said for the tens of millions of dollars in legal fees paid out to attorneys representing him and his allies, straining the finances of his campaign.

An Associated Press analysis of recent fundraising disclosures shows Trump맥스카지노s political committees have paid out at least $59.2 million to more than 100 lawyers and law firms since January 2021.

The threat posed by the colossal drain of resources has led Trump맥스카지노s allies to establish a new legal defense fund, the Patriot Legal Defense Fund.
