On Thursday evening, he will attend the first court hearing in the trial against him. The 77-year-old is charged with four counts of attempting to overturn the 2020 election.
The court session begins at 10 p.m. Norwegian time and will be held not far from the congress building that Trump supporters stormed on January 6 two years ago.
It is expected that Trump will have to go through what is standard procedure in court cases: He will be taken into custody by the police in the courtroom, will be allowed to present his brief declaration of guilt in front of the judge. He is then released.
The indictment, which was brought forward by special investigator Jack Smith on Tuesday, states that in the days after the election, Trump was guilty of four violations of the law in his efforts to have the election of Joe Biden rejected.
Two cases are of a federal nature and are being investigated by Smith, while two are being dealt with at the state level.
Trump has repeatedly claimed that the election was “stolen”, for which there is no evidence.
