Hunter Biden's primary defense attorney, Christopher Clark, requested to be excused from the case on Tuesday, citing potential future roles as a witness in the proceedings.
Key elements of the indictment, spanning almost 100 pages, shed light on multiple episodes where Trump and his allies are accused of trying to reverse the election outcome.
Internal document procured from Facebook suggests that the agent, Elvis Chan, lied about conversations he had with the tech giant concerning the high-profile October 2020 revelations involving Hunter Biden and his father, Joe Biden.
Trump's indictment gives him "an opportunity that he has never had before, which is to have subpoena power since January 6 in a way that can be exercised in federal court."
The federal prosecution alleges that Trump was bent on retaining his position of power through a scheme that sought to undermine a fundamental function of the U.S. federal government—the execution of the process for “collecting, counting and certifying the results of the presidential election."
