Jesse Waters: [reading from indictment] They lead off with saying 'the president lied about election fraud, and knew there was no fraud.' How do they know they he knew that there was no fraud? And if this goes to trial, are we going to now have to go back and find fraud in the 2020 election? Does this open up the entire 2020 election in a court setting, to Donald Trump going back and proving that there was indeed fraud, and presenting evidence of fraud, and having that challenged in the court?

Jack Smith: 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 preceding…the attack on out nation's Capital, on January 6th, 2021, was an unprecedented assault on the seat of American democracy. As described in the indictment, it was fueled by lies. Lies by the defendant, targeted at obstructing a bedrock function of the US Government, the nation's process of collecting, counting, and certifying the results of the presidential election.
