“I need one more indictment to ensure my election.”
Ahead of his arraignment in Washington, DC on Thursday afternoon, 2024 GOP frontrunner Donald Trump declared that he needs just "one more indictment" to "ensure my election."
"I need one more indictment to ensure my election," Trump wrote, in all caps, just before noon.
Trump is traveling to Washington, DC to be arraigned on charges stemming from Special Counsel Jack Smith’s most recent indictment of the Republican presidential candidate.
The most recent indictment, which stems from an alleged "conspiracy" to overturn the results of the 2020 election, sees Trump charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction, and conspiracy against the right to vote and to have one’s vote counted.
This is the third indictment Trump has faced in 2023, and the second that has come from Special Counsel Jack Smith. Trump was indicted in June on charges stemming from the alleged retention of classified documents after his presidency. In the spring, Trump was indicted by Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg on felony counts of falsifying business records.
