Fifty-three individuals have been criminally charged for attempting to maintain Donald J. Trump's presidency after he lost the 2020 election. The charges have been filed in swing states critical to the upcoming election, with warnings that disrupting elections will have legal consequences. Notably, Trump and his legal strategist, Boris Epshteyn, have been indicted. Despite slow progress, Democratic prosecutors are leading the state prosecutions, focusing on conspiracies to overturn the election results. The cases have caused divisions among the defendants, with some expressing regret while others remain defiant. The legal complications are growing for Trump as he faces multiple investigations and trials. Despite the likelihood that the cases won't be resolved before the election, they have sparked concerns about the boundaries of election manipulation.
