Former President Donald Trump is set to appear in federal court in Washington, D.C., on Thursday afternoon to answer charges related to Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigation into 2020 election interference and the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021.

Trump, a prominent contender for the 2024 GOP nomination, is facing four federal charges, including conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.

In light of these charges, the former president will travel from Bedminster, New Jersey, to Washington, D.C., on Thursday and make his arraignment at 4 p.m.

This federal indictment marks the second set of charges Trump faces as a result of Smith's investigation. Earlier, the 2024 GOP primary frontrunner pleaded not guilty to 37 counts related to the alleged improper retention of classified records from his presidency.

These charges include willful retention of national defense information, conspiracy to obstruct justice, and false statements. Last week, an additional three counts were added to the indictment. It's worth noting that Trump has the dubious distinction of being the first former U.S. president to face federal criminal charges.
