Former President Donald Trump arrived in Washington, D.C. Thursday afternoon to turn himself in to federal court on his third indictment, this time for his alleged involvement in efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

Trump is now facing four counts of election interference, in addition to charges from two other indictments this year. According to The Washington Post, Trump is expected to appear before a judge, but it's unknown if he'll speak afterward.

The former president shared last week that he had received a target letter from special counsel Jack Smith, informing him that he was being investigated.

“Today, an indictment was unsealed charging Donald J. Trump with conspiring to defraud the United States, conspiring to disenfranchise voters, and conspiring and attempting to obstruct an official proceeding. The indictment was issued by a grand jury of citizens here in the District of Columbia and sets forth the crimes charged in detail. I encourage everyone to read it in full,” said Smith in a Tuesday statement.

While this marks the third indictment Trump has faced this year, he continues to deny any wrongdoing.
