Donald Trump is due in federal court within hours to answer to charges he sought to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, facing a judge near the United States Capitol building that his supporters stormed to try to block the peaceful transfer of power.In what's become a familiar but nonetheless stunning ritual, Trump is expected to be processed by law enforcement, formally taken into custody and enter a not guilty plea in front of a judge before being released, enabling him to rejoin the campaign trail as he seeks to reclaim the White House in 2024.An indictment published on Tuesday from Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith charges Trump with four felony counts related to his efforts to undo his presidential election loss in the run-up to the January 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol, including conspiracy to defraud the US government and conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding.
