More on the Trump Jan. 6 indictment

The latest: Former president Donald Trump pleaded not guilty Thursday to charges that he plotted to overturn the 2020 election in the runup to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

The charges: Trump faces four charges in connection with what prosecutors allege was a plan to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

Read the full text of the 45-page indictment, which references Pence or vice presidency more than 100 times.

The case: The special counsel’s office has been investigating whether Trump or those close to him violated the law by interfering with the lawful transfer of power after the 2020 presidential election or with Congress’s confirmation of the results on Jan. 6, 2021. It is one of several ongoing investigations involving Trump. Here’s what happens next in the Jan. 6 case.
