• Trump, who has pleaded not guilty to all charges and has denied any wrongdoing, faces 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the first degree.

Flashback: The "Stop the Steal" movement featured rallies popping up throughout the country, with protestors spreading false claims of voter fraud in the 2020 race.
