Donald Trump indicted on federal charges.


Former President Donald Trump was indicted on federal charges on June 8, 2023. The charges include seditious conspiracy and obstruction of an official proceeding in connection with the January 6th Capitol riot. This is the first time a former president has been indicted on federal charges.

The indictment alleges that Trump and his allies conspired to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and prevent Congress from certifying Joe Biden's victory. The indictment also alleges that Trump obstructed the certification process by inciting his supporters to attack the Capitol.

Trump has denied all of the allegations against him. He has called the indictment a "witch hunt" and a "hoax." He has also vowed to fight the charges.

The indictment is a major development in the ongoing investigation into the January 6th Capitol riot. It is also a significant blow to Trump's political career. It is unclear what the long-term consequences of the indictment will be, but it is likely to have a major impact on American politics.

Here are some of the specific charges against Trump:

  • Seditious conspiracy: This charge is generally used to prosecute people who conspire to overthrow the government. The indictment alleges that Trump and his allies conspired to "overthrow, prevent, hinder, or delay the lawful transfer of presidential power" by inciting his supporters to attack the Capitol.
  • Obstruction of an official proceeding: This charge is generally used to prosecute people who obstruct a government proceeding, such as a congressional investigation. The indictment alleges that Trump obstructed the certification of the election results by inciting his supporters to attack the Capitol.

If convicted, Trump could face up to 20 years in prison.

Egypt Shark Attack.

  A Russian tourist was killed in a shark attack near a beach in the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Hurghada on Thursday, June 8, 2023. The man, who was in his late 20s, was swimming near the Sahl Hasheesh resort when he was attacked by a shark. He was taken to a local hospital, but he died from his injuries. This is the third shark attack in Egypt in the past year. In July 2022, a 68-year-old Austrian woman was killed in a shark attack off the coast of Hurghada, and in October 2022, a Romanian tourist was injured in a shark attack off the coast of Sahl Hasheesh. Shark attacks are rare in the Red Sea, but they do happen. The Red Sea is home to a variety of sharks, including tiger sharks, bull sharks, and mako sharks. These sharks are not typically aggressive towards humans, but they can be if they feel threatened. The Egyptian government has closed off a 60-kilometer (37-mile) stretch of coastline near Hurghada in the wake of the attack. The closure is expected to last for at least a week.
