Republican presidential candidates have begun weighing in after Special Counsel Jack Smith slammed frontrunner Donald Trump with a four-count indictment over his efforts to stop his fall from power following the 2020 presidential election. The indictment accuses Trump of three separate conspiracies: defrauding the U.S. government, obstructing an official proceeding, and conspiring against people’s rights.

Former President Donald Trump was indicted Tuesday on four criminal charges over his alleged efforts to reverse his defeat in the 2020 presidential election, counts that Trump likened to the political repression efforts conducted by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union in his first comments following his latest round of criminal charges. In a statement from Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign, the former president said he considered his indictment—his third one this year—as an attempt by the Biden Administration to interfere with the upcoming 2024 presidential election.

Donald Trump was charged Tuesday in a Justice Department investigation into his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in the run-up to the violent riot by his supporters at the U.S. Capitol.
