“Despite having lost, the Defendant was determined to remain in power,” reads the indictment. “So for more than two months following election day on November 3, 2020, the Defendant spread lies that there has been outcome-determinative fraud in the election and that he actually won. These claims were false, and the Defendant knew that they were false. But the Defendant repeated and widely disseminated them anyway — to make his knowingly false claims appear legitimate, create an intense national atmosphere of mistrust and anger, and erode public faith in the administration of the election.”
