Donald Trump has been criminally charged with trying to ‘defraud the United States’ over the 2021 riots at the US Capitol.
It’s the most serious legal threat facing the former president, as he attempts to return to the White House in 2024.
But it’s by no means the only one – Trump now faces 78 charges across three criminal cases, but still remains frontrunner to become his party’s nominee for next year’s presidential election.
On Sky News Daily Niall Paterson is joined by US correspondent James Matthews to discuss how the trials and potential convictions alter the landscape of the Republican presidential race, and the Republican Party overall.
