Trump was also indicted in Georgia on Aug. 14, along with 18 other people, in connection with their efforts to reverse Trump’s 2020 election loss in the state. A total of 41 counts were brought against the 19 defendants, with Trump facing 13 charges.
In the Justice Department’s election interference investigation, prosecutors could have charged Trump with “engaging in insurrection or rebellion,” which would disqualify him from office under the Constitution’s 14th Amendment. The federal government very rarely brings that type of charge and has not done so against Trump.
