A United States federal grand jury indicted former President Donald Trump on Tuesday with crimes connected to the 2020 presidential election.
周二,美國聯邦大陪審團指控前總統唐納德·特朗普犯有與2020年總統選舉有關的罪行。
The charging document, called an indictment, accuses Trump of four crimes: conspiracy to defraud the government, blocking an official meeting of Congress and plotting to do so, and threatening people's right to vote.
這份名為起訴書的指控文件指控特朗普犯有四項罪行:共謀欺詐政府、串謀阻撓國會正式會議以及威脅人民的投票權。
The indictment centers on the months after the November 2020 election.
這份起訴書的重點是2020年11月大選后的幾個月。
It says Trump knew that he had lost the election but spread lies about the voting results as he was "determined to remain in power."
該起訴書上寫道,特朗普知道自己輸掉了選舉,但他散布了關于投票結果的謊言,因為他“決定繼續掌權”。
The former president, it says, tried and failed to use federal and state officials to overturn the election.
該起訴書上寫道,這位前總統試圖利用聯邦和州官員來推翻選舉結果,但失敗了。
It said he blocked the counting of electoral votes certifying Biden's victory on January 6, 2021, as thousands of his supporters attacked the Capitol building and police where the process was taking place.
該起訴書上寫道,2021年1月6日,他阻止了證明拜登獲勝的選票的計票工作,當時數千名特朗普的支持者襲擊了進行計票流程的國會大廈和那里的警察。
In the announcement of the indictment, Special Counsel Jack Smith called the attack an "assault on the seat of American democracy."
在宣布起訴書時,特別檢察官杰克·史密斯稱這次襲擊是“對美國民主所在地的襲擊”。
He added, "It was fueled by lies, lies by the defendant targeted at obstructing a bedrock function of the U.S. government: the nation's process of collecting, counting and certifying the results of the presidential election."
他補充說,“這是由謊言推動的,被告的謊言旨在阻撓美國政府的一項基本職能:國家收集、統計和認證總統選舉結果的過程。”
The document refers to six other co-conspirators it says worked with Trump to undo the election results.
這份文件提到了另外六名與特朗普合作推翻選舉結果的同謀。

The latest legal action is the second time that Smith has charged Trump with criminal wrongdoing.

In March, the office of the Manhattan District Attorney in the state of New York charged Trump with criminally falsifying "business records to conceal crimes that hid damaging information from the voting public during the 2016 presidential election."
