Donald Trump's legal woes have mounted after he was indicted again, this time over alleged attempts to overthrow the 2020 election.

The former US president is charged with four counts including conspiracy to defraud the US, obstruction of an official proceeding and preventing others from carrying out their constitutional rights.
If found guilty, he faces up to 20 years in prison for the obstruction charge alone – which more than 100 people involved in the 6 January storming of the US Capitol have been convicted of.
Mr Trump, 77 – currently the frontrunner in the Republican Party's presidential nomination contest – has denied the charges.
This case is the third indictment for the former president – but the first relating to his spell in the White House.
He has pleaded not guilty to charges in the other two cases. One, in Florida, relates to the retention of classified documents. The other, in New York, concerns allegations of falsifying business records to cover up hush-money payments to former adult film star Stormy Daniels.
Mr Trump is also under investigation in Georgia over alleged attempts to interfere with the 2020 election result there, although no charges have been announced as yet.
