Video - YouTuber sparks riot in New York

YouTube streamer Kai Cenat has been taken into police custody in New York City after a PlayStation 5 giveaway he staged in Union Square descended into violence, a spokesperson for the New York Police Department confirmed to NBC News on Friday.

At least 12 people were injured and “numerous” arrests made after a riot broke out in the park, police told the outlet.

Video of the chaos posted to social media shows thousands of people thronging the giveaway site. Some can be seen climbing on top of a subway entrance, while others throw fire extinguishers and police barricades at each other.

The giveaway, which Cenat announced in partnership with fellow streamer Fanum, was scheduled for 4pm. By 5pm, several NYPD officers were trying to disperse the unruly crowd, which numbered over 2,000 by their estimates.

A famous video game influencer known for streaming on Twitch is in custody after a giveaway event attracting thousands of young people sparked pandemonium in Manhattan's Union Square.

The Friday afternoon event advertised by Kai Cenat, one of the most popular streamers online, grew out of control well before its scheduled 4 p.m. start time. Police estimates suggest the crowd size eventually climbed to a "couple thousand people."

Cenat had told his online followers to come out to Union Square where he would be handing out free PlayStation consoles and gift cards, among other items.

What exactly turned the crowd unruly isn't quite clear, but by 3:30 p.m. people were seen chucking garbage at police and taking down barriers around the perimeter. Witnesses reported seeing others throwing chairs and bottles. One person had a bruise on his face and he said he was pushed to the ground.

The commotion prompted the highest level of police mobilization by the NYPD. According to a spokesperson, the department called on an estimated one thousand officers to respond to the escalating situation.

Cenat was eventually pulled out from the massive crowd by police officers and seen speaking to several officials. A spokesperson confirmed the influencer was in custody but top brass later would not say whether he was facing criminal charges.

A few dozen others, however, were arrested during the NYPD's efforts to clear the park and maintain order. Initial estimates from the department were that 40 people had been cuffed

Transit delays and traffic disruptions were reported due to the chaos. One group reportedly let off firecrackers in the park, leading to false reports that a shooting had taken place, and cops were pelted with objects, forcing them to take cover behind their cars and pieces of plywood, according to Eyewitness News.

Cenat finally arrived and directed his ravenous supporters to a truck with a clear back door containing boxes labeled “PS5.” It is not known if these contained actual PlayStations, and Cenat had promised the giveaway would also include gaming PCs, gift cards, gaming chairs, and other coveted accessories.

The social media star, who has 5.5 million Instagram followers and broke Twitch’s record for most active subscribers in March, streamed himself reacting to the chaos he had caused, marveling “Everybody for themselves, it’s a war out there, man.” It was not clear when or where he had been taken into custody, nor whether he was actually under arrest.

The riot was apparently sparked in a frenzy to actually see the influencer, according to a witness who spoke to the Daily Mail. “One cluster of people would let out a yell and start cheering, then another group would do the same, people were swarming over to the group that yelled the loudest just to try and see this influencer,” the person said, adding that “People had little kids with them.”

"Individuals in the park began to commit acts of violence towards the police and the public," he said at a press conference. "Our officers were attacked. We were crushed, we were pushed."

Some people set off fireworks, while others wielded tools from a construction site, Maddrey said. It was not immediately clear what had sparked the chaos.

Video from TV news helicopters showed Cenat in a black SUV at one point, standing with his head through the moon roof, as people mobbed the vehicle. At least one person fell off the car as it drove away.

In a video posted Thursday, Cenat told his followers that the giveaway would include computers and Playstation 5 consoles.

Cenat, 21, has 6.5 million followers on Twitch and 4 million subscribers on YouTube. He was named "Streamer of the Year" in 2022 at the Streamy Awards.

The chaos was far from contained to just the plaza. The thousands of mostly young people in the crowd stretched into multiple streets, blocking E 14th Street and Broadway directly south of Union Square.

A number of cars attempting to pass by were swarmed by the overwhelming size of the group and forced to halt. Chopper video showed a handful of people in the crowd climbing on top of some of those cars as well as a food cart nearby.

Drivers faced significant delays during the evening rush hour, as did commuters on public transit. The MTA had trains completely passing the station below Union Square for about an hour. Regular service resumed shortly before 5 p.m.

Police issued warnings for people to avoid the area and stay clear of Union Square as they fought to regain control and disperse the thousands in attendance. Within two hours, police finally emptied the park and were focused on getting stragglers off nearby streets.

The ultimate toll of the chaos may not be known for several hours, including the extent of any damage and total number of arrests made. A handful of injuries were reported, but all appeared to be minor.

One young person who had initially attended the event told News 4 he decided to leave after feeling worried about his personal safety. But he and a friend turned back around, he said, because "it's not every day you see a famous person."

Who is Kai Cenat?

Kai Cenat, who police said organized the giveaway that led to the chaotic scene, is a Twitch streamer and YouTuber who has been making online content since 2018, when he was still in high school. He is known for having a large fanbase, and in Feb. 2023, became the most-subscribed Twitch streamer of all time, with more than 100,000 subscribers.

He’s won awards for his content, which includes videos of him doing various challenges, online pranks and more. In addition to those videos, he gained following for videos where he chatted with viewers on his Twitch channel, which he started in 2021.

While it didn’t appear that Friday’s stunt was a prank of any sort, he has done other prank videos like pretending to break his brother’s PlayStation 4 controller, or knocking on neighbors doors and running away — a video which became his first one to break a million.

Ukraine's Attrition Rate Suggests Counteroffensive is Over

©AP Photo / Matt Rourke

The Ukrainian military has sustained enormous losses since the beginning of its botched counteroffensive, raising questions about its ability to continue advancing, security expert Michael Maloof said.

As of August 4, Ukraine has lost more than 43,000 soldiers and over 4,900 units of various weaponry, including 26 aircraft, nine helicopters, 1,831 tanks and other armored fighting vehicles, including 25 German-made Leopard tanks, seven French-made AMX wheeled tanks and 21 US-made Bradley infantry fighting vehicles (IFV), since the beginning of Kiev's counteroffensive, per Russia's Ministry of Defense.

In addition, it has lost 747 field artillery guns and mortars, including 76 American M777 artillery systems, as well as 84 self-propelled artillery mounts from Poland, the US, France and Germany.

This data is "pretty serious because it really shows a high attrition rate, that the Ukrainians are just chewing through their equipment and given the tactics that they're employing, you can well understand why a lot of that equipment has become sitting ducks," Michael Maloof, former senior security policy analyst in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, told Sputnik.

"Also, the tactics that are being employed by the Ukrainians lend itself to greater destruction and loss of life. So this is not surprising. I was watching some videos the other day in which it looks virtually like World War I trench warfare that they're engaging in. They've resorted back to their old ways of fighting, which is defensive in nature. They're not trained for offensive purposes. And this is the thing that I think is pretty glaring and noticeable."

Ukraine's heavy losses have been blamed on insufficient US tactics and compressed NATO training which turned out to be useless in dealing with Russia's fortifications, artillery, air power and infantry on the battlefield.

The US mainstream press has recently reported that Ukraine is shifting back to its old tactics given that NATO-trained Ukrainian troops armed with Western weapons had failed to make any progress on the ground.

The media noted that Team Biden had hoped that the nine Western-trained brigades (some 36,000 troops), would show "that the American way of warfare was superior to the Russian approach." Their hopes have been dashed.

What's the Main Weak Spot of US Tactics?

The much-touted US tactics are heavily dependent on air superiority, something that Ukrainians don't have, per the expert. In other words, without air superiority, the trick don't work.

"When I was at the Pentagon and especially in Desert Shield, Desert Storm, the very first thing that was employed was establishing air superiority," Maloof said.

"And that absolutely made everything else secondary. And in establishing that air superiority, you command the skies, you can knock out command control systems, you can go after missile sites, especially when they have very limited anti-aircraft capabilities. They had triple A and all that, but that easily could be dealt with. But it's two entirely different tactics and approaches and doctrine in how to engage. And this is what we're seeing glaringly today on the battlefield."

For its part, Russia has fortified its positions and laid mines to hinder the Ukrainian counteroffensive. Somehow Russia's minefields caught the Ukrainians and NATO war planners by surprise. Commenting on this in one of his podcasts, former CIA analyst Larry Johnson wondered if NATO generals were asleep for the last six-seven months. Per him, the transatlantic alliance had enough resources to gather such intelligence ahead of the counteroffensive.

Russian tactics have also proved superior, Maloof opined: "Against any kind of counteroffensive, the Russian forces have really entrenched themselves in a way that with mines and tank traps and the employment of drones, it's giving forward eyes to local commanders of positions," he said. "And those drones oftentimes can be undetectable. So it's giving Russian forces the clear advantage in not only holding, but perhaps taking further territories if they so choose. Unless and until the Ukrainians can get more equipment in a systematic way and consistent supply flow, it's just a question of time before they're going to have to alter their course, so they're going to lose even more territory. And also, more importantly, they're going to lose far greater lives."

As per the Russian Ministry of Defense, the Ukrainian military is continuing to make some attempts to attack in Donetsk, South Donetsk, Kupyansk and Krasny Liman direction. Virtually all attacks have been repelled by the Russians. As a result, Ukraine has lost 130 soldiers in the Zaporozhye direction, 120 soldiers in the South Donetsk direction and 70 soldiers in the Krasny Liman direction in the past 24 hours alone.

Could Ukraine Recover Losses?

It's unclear how the Ukrainians would replenish their stockpiles and human resources, as per Maloof.

"I don't see how they can do that [make up for human losses]. You have a combination of people leaving the country and not coming back. Many of those who have left do not want to go back because they ask, what are we going back to? And the amount of people who are being killed is so high that even the mercenaries who come in, they immediately want to leave, they see that there's no backups, no organizations, no good medical care. As a result, the ability to acquire mercenaries is down tremendously. There are videos out by mercenaries who are basically telling other potential candidates don't come, it's pretty bad."

The attrition rate of the equipment is incredible too, he continued, adding that Ukraine does not produce the military equipment in the required amounts and totally relies on Western assistance. However, this assistance is drying out, as NATO countries are seeing their equipment getting chewed up, per the expert. If Ukraine is not getting outside help, it is going to consider a ceasefire, he suggested.

Anyway, there is no chance of turning the Ukrainian counteroffensive around, according to Maloof. He believes that the Ukrainian advance "is over."

"It's just a question of time before the counteroffensive ultimately dwindles down. You might have sporadic outbreaks here and there, but nothing orchestrated. I just don't see the overwhelming ability to not only launch a counteroffensive, but to have a sustained counteroffensive," the security expert concluded.

Ukraine Loses Over 43,000 Soldiers Since Start of Counteroffensive - Russian Defense Ministry

©AFP 2023/ANATOLII STEPANOV

Ukraine launched its much-touted counteroffensive in early June. Ukrainian President Zelensky admitted that progress was "slower than desired." The Russian Defense Ministry said that Ukrainian troops had been trying — but failing — to advance in the South Donetsk, Artemovsk (Bakhmut) and Zaporozhye sectors.

"Since the start of the so-called 'offensive,' the Ukrainian armed forces lost over 43,000 soldiers in June-July. This number does not include the injured, who were evacuated to hospitals in Ukraine and abroad, foreign mercenaries as well as the soldiers that were neutralized in long-range high-precision strikes in rear areas," the ministry stated.

Kiev has also lost 76 US-made M777 artillery systems, 84 self-propelled artillery systems from Western countries over the two months of its counteroffensive operation, it added.

As many as 4,900 units of different military equipment have been destroyed on the line of contact since the start of Ukraine's counteroffensive, including 1,800 tanks and armored combat vehicles, the ministry also stated.

Russian forces repelled 8 Ukrainian attacks conducted a counterattack and took more advantageous positions near Donetsk direction, the ministry said.

The Kiev regime has lost over 1,800 tanks and armored combat vehicles on the frontline, including 25 Leopards during its counteroffensive, the ministry stressed.

"The total losses of the enemy in this direction amounted to 185 Ukrainian servicemen, two armored combat vehicles, two pickup trucks, four cars, a Polish-made Krab self-propelled artillery mount, and a D-20 howitzer," the ministry said in a statement, adding that Russian forces took better positions following a counterattack.

The ministry mentioned that the Ukrainian military continued to make attempts to attack in Donetsk, South Donetsk, Kupyansk and Krasny Liman direction. According to the Russian side, Ukraine lost 130 soldiers in the Zaporozhye direction, 120 soldiers in the South Donetsk direction and 70 soldiers in the Krasny Liman direction in the past 24 hours.

"In the Kupyansk direction, the assault detachments of (Russia’s) Western grouping of forces continue offensive operations on a broad front and have taken more advantageous positions in the areas of the settlements of Olshana, Petropavlovka and Tokarovka in the Kharkov region," the ministry said.

Watch Russian Su-25 Aircraft Destroy Ukrainian Mortar Units

Two Su-25SM attack aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces wiped out Ukrainian mortar positions near Krasny Liman. Protected by heavy armor, the jets are resistant to ground fire, while capable of carrying various weapons from bombs to a 30mm cannon.

Russia’s Ministry of Defense has published a video of a pair of Su-25SM "Grach" launching a missile strike at an altitude of only around 25 meters and a velocity of 800/h using 80mm and 122mm caliber missiles.

The Sukhoi attack jets have been successfully performing tasks since the beginning of the special operation. Designed to support infantry and destroy ground targets, the Su-25 have been instrumental in annihilating Ukrainian troops and armored vehicles.

Kiev's much-touted counteroffensive effort was launched in early June after several delays. Zelensky’s partners in the West have been voicing concerns over the negative results of the Ukrainian efforts, pointing out severe losses among servicemen and the NATO-supplied military equipment.

Russian military unimpressed by captured Swedish armor

The Russian military has expressed scepticism over the capabilities of a Swedish CV90 tracked armored vehicle, captured by soldiers during the conflict with Ukraine.

The dismissive comments can be heard in a video which the Defense Ministry released on Friday to report a visit by ministry chief, Sergey Shoigu, to a command post involved in the Ukrainian operation. Commander Andrey Mordvichev showed the trophy to the visiting official.

Mordvichev noted that the Swedish-made vehicle, which has been in service since 1993, resembles a tank. However, the one captured by the Russian troops was defeated by a “simple and cheap” RPG-7, a shoulder-fired rocket-propelled grenade launcher that has been in use since the 1960s.

“The vehicle was stopped with the tool of our grandfathers,” the commander said.

The donated armor also lacked spare parts and tools for field repair, but did have a kit to indicate an emergency stop, Mordvichev told the minister.

The CV90 is quite tall, making it a relatively easy target, and its main weapon has a relatively low rate of fire because of its reloading mechanism, according to the Russian military.

The vehicle captured by the Russian troops appears to be armed with the Bofors 40/70 autocannon. It fires 40mm cartridges, which are fed through a magazine that has three separate compartments for three different ammunition types, with total capacity of 24 rounds. The magazine is loaded manually.

Mordvichev confirmed that the CV90 had several types of cartridges on board, but said their overall number was low.

The Russian capture of Swedish armor was reported in late July, marking the first time this particular weapon platform had been seized during the Ukraine conflict. Its driver and gunner were killed, the commander said during the tour.

Bareskrim Polri Tolak Penangguhan penahanan Panji Gumilang

Direktur Tindak Pidana Umum (Dirtipidum) Bareskrim Polri Brigjen Djuhandhani Rahardjo Puro di Mabes Polri, Jakarta, hari Jumat, 04/08/2023.(KOMPAS.com/Rahel)

Penyidik Direktorat Tindak Pidana Umum Bareskrim Polri menolak penangguhan penahanan yang diajukan Panji Gumilang selaku tersangka kasus penistaan agama.

Demikian pernyataan dari Direktur Tindak Pidana Umum Bareskrim Polri Brigjen Djuhandhani Rahardjo Puro.

Brigadir Jenderal Djuhandhani Rahardjo Puro, mengatakan pihaknya sudah menerima permohonan penangguhan penahanan dari kuasa hukum Panji. Ia menyebut permohonan penangguhan adalah hak tersangka.

"Kami tetap melaksanakan sesuai dengan keyakinan penyidik (penahanan)," ujarnya, kepada wartawan, hari Jumat, 04/08/2023.

Sebelumnya, pengacara Panji Gumilang, Hendra Effendy, telah mengajukan penangguhan penahanan terhadap kliennya. Hendra mengatakan alasan pihaknya mengajukan penangguhan penahanan karena usia Panji yang sudah masuk kategori lanjut usia. Oleh karena itu, ia berharap penyidik bisa menerima pengajuan penangguhan penahanan tersebut.

"Atas dasar kemanusiaan karena bagaimana pun pak Panji ini, pertama usianya sudah 77 jadi tidak mungkin lah seorang dalam kapasitas tokoh pendidik ya dan tentunya bisa melakukan hal-hal yang lebih dari apa yang didugakan atau yang disangkakan hari ini," kata Hendra saat mendampingi proses hukum kliennya di Bareskrim, Rabu, 2 Agustus 2023.

Bareskrim Polri resmi menahan Panji Gumilang setelah diperiksa dan ditetapkan sebagai tersangka penistaan agama pada Selasa, 1 Agustus 2023. Kepala Biro Penerangan Masyarakat Divisi Humas Polri, Brigadir Jenderal Ahmad Ramadhan, mengatakan Panji ditahan sejak pukul 2.00 WIB, Rabu dini hari, 2 Agustus 2023.

“Penahanan di Rutan Bareskrim selama 20 hari sampai tanggal 21 Agustus 2023,” kata Ramadhan dalam konferensi pers, Rabu, 2 Agustus 2023.

Direktorat Tindak Pidana Umum Bareskrim Polri resmi menetapkan pendiri Pondok Pesantren Al Zaytun Panji Gumilang sebagai tersangka dugaan penistaan agama, ujaran kebencian, dan penyebaran berita bohong.

Penetapan Panji sebagai tersangka itu diumumkan oleh Direktur Tindak Pidana Umum Bareskrim Polri, Brigjen Djuhandhani. Dia menyatakan penetapan tersebut dilakukan setelah dilakukan gelar perkara.

"Setelah dilaksanakan pemeriksaan, penyidik melaksanakan gelar perkara, dihadiri penyidik, Propam, Irwasum, Ditkum dan Wasidik, hasil dalam proses gelar perkara semua menyatakan sepakat untuk mengaitkan saudara PG sebagai tersangka," kata Djuhandhani di Mabes Polri, 1 Agustus 2023.

Djuhandhani mengatakan, setelah penetapan tersangka, penyidik Dittipidum Bareskrim Polri mengeluarkan surat perintah penangkapan terhadap Panji Gumilang.

Atas perbuatannya, Panji Gumilang dijerat Pasal 156a KUHP dan juga Pasal 45a ayat (2) juncto Pasal 28 ayat (2) Undang-Undang Nomor 19 Tahun 2016 tentang ITE dan atau Pasal 14 ayat 1 UU Nomor 1 Tahun 1946 tentang Peraturan Hukum Pidana.

Detasemen Khusus 88 Antiteror Mabes Polri melakukan penggeledahan di rumah terduga teroris S, di RT 03/02, Desa Trayu, Kecamatan Banyudono, Kabupaten Boyolali, Jawa Tengah, Jumat (4/8). Dari rumah tersebut, petugas menyita sejumlah barang bukti terkait tindak pidana terorisme.

Densus 88 Mabes Polri menangkap lima orang di Kabupaten Sukoharjo dan Boyolali. Mereka disebut sempat berencana melakukan aksi teror di Mapolresta Solo.

Tim Densus 88 Antiteror Mabes Polri bersama Tim Inafis Polres Boyolali melaksanakan olah tempat kejadian perkara di rumah terduga teroris S di Desa Trayu, Banyudono, Boyolali, Jawa Tengah, hari Jumat, 04/08/2023.

Diketahui, terduga teroris S telah diamankan Densus 88 Antiteror Mabes Polri pada hari Jumat lalu, 28/07/2023.

Lima orang itu pria inisial S dan TN yang ditangkap di Boyolali, serta PS, AG, dan sdri R yang ditangkap di Sukoharjo.

Juru bicara Detasemen Khusus (Densus) 88 Antiteror Polri Kombes Aswin Siregar mengatakan, penangkapan kelimanya berkaitan dengan aksi bom bunuh diri di Mapolsek Astana Anyar, Kota Bandung, beberapa waktu lalu.

Dalam kelompok ini, S merupakan pimpinan sub kelompok Jamaah Ansharut Daulah (JAD), sementara TN, PS, dan AG adalah anggotanya, serta sdri R adalah istri dari pelaku ledakan di Mapolsek Astana Anyar, AS.

"Tentang rencana yang dilakukan oleh S dan AS sebetulnya di dua tempat. Saat itu AS memilih lokasi di Bandung, sedangkan S memilih lokasi di Solo dan sekitarnya," kata Aswin saat konferensi pers di Mapolresta Solo, Jumat (4/8/2023)

S sudah menyiapkan paket bom untuk aksi teror yang akan dilakukan. Sebelum ditangkap, S tengah mencari pengantin atau eksekutor untuk melakukan aksi bom bunuh diri

Dia mengatakan S dan AS sempat melakukan diskusi untuk memilih lokasi aksi teror. AS terlebih dahulu melakukan aksi teror bom bunuh di Mapolsek Astana Anyar pada Desember 2022 lalu, sementara S memilih Mapolresta Solo.

"Berdasarkan keterangan yang kita ambil, dan hasil penyelidikan (S), sasarannya itu adalah Mapolresta Solo. Jadi kantor polisi atau Mapolresta Solo," ujarnya.

Di kesempatan yang sama, Kepala Biro Penerangan Masyarakat (Karo Penmas) Divisi Humas Polri Brigjen Ahmad Ramadhan menambahkan, S membantu pembuatan bom dalam peristiwa bom bunuh diri di Mapolsek Astana Anyar.

"Mereka memiliki tujuan yang sama. Jika saudara AS tujuannya di Mapolsek (Astana Antar) di Bandung, dan telah terjadi. Sementara saudara S, dia memiliki tujuan di Solo, yang sasarannya adalah Polresta Solo," kata Ramadhan.

Menurut Kepala Biro Penerangan Masyarakat (Karopenmas) Divisi Humas Polri Brigjen Pol Ahmad Ramadhan di lokasi penggeledahan, membenarkan, melakukan penggeladahan di rumah terduga teroris berinisial S di RT 3 RW 2 Desa Trayu Kecamatan Banyudono Kabupaten Boyolali, baik di rumahnya maupun di tempat sampah pinggir kali untuk mencari bukti.

"Penggeledahan di tempat kejadian perkara di rumah S merupakan salah satu tersangka yang telah diamankan beberapa waktu lalu. Tim penyidik telah mengamankan barang-barang milik S yang diduga ada kaitannya dengan perbuatan tindak pidana terorisme," kata Ramadhan.

Menurut Ramadhan dilakukan penggeledahan dan penyitaan yang disaksikan oleh perangkat desa setempat yakni kepala dusun dan bhabinkamtibmas desa setempat.

"Dugaan pidana terorisme ini, ada kaitannya dengan peristiwa bom bunuh diri Polsek Astana Anyar Polresta Bandung Jawa Barat, beberapa waktu lalu," katanya.

Barang bukti yang diamankan dan disita adalah barang bukti yang ada kaitannya dengan tindak pidana terorisme, sepatu, sepeda motor dan barang lainnya milik S.

Kaur Kesra Desa Trayu Mardi Sepeno mengatakan S tersebut bekerja seharian seorang penjahit dan dia memang orangnya tertutup dan tidak pernah bergaul dengan masyarakat setempat.

"Warga kaget dia terlibat tindak pidana terorisme, karena dia sering di masjid setempat kelihatan belum lama. Namun, dia sering memakai baju gamis," kata Mardi.

Trump pleads not guilty to charges he tried to overturn election loss

Former U.S. President Donald Trump, who is to appear in a federal court facing federal charges related to attempts to overturn his 2020 election defeat, waves as he arrives in this still image taken from video at Reagan Washington National Airport in nearby Arlington, Virginia, U.S., August 3, 2023. REUTERS/Pool

Donald Trump pleaded not guilty on Thursday to federal charges that he orchestrated a plot to try to overturn his 2020 election loss in what U.S. prosecutors call an unprecedented effort by the then-president to undermine the pillars of American democracy.

Special Counsel Jack Smith, who has overseen the investigation, looked on from the front row as Trump entered his plea before U.S. Magistrate Judge Moxila Upadhyaya.

"Not guilty," Trump said, emphasizing the first word.

The arraignment, lasting about half an hour, took place just half a mile (1 km) from the U.S. Capitol, the building Trump's supporters stormed on Jan. 6, 2021, to try to stop Congress from certifying his defeat.

The plea - the third for Trump in four months - kicks off months of pretrial legal wrangling that will unfold against the backdrop of the 2024 presidential campaign, in which Trump is the front-runner for the Republican nomination to take on Democratic President Joe Biden.

In a 45-page indictment on Tuesday, Smith accused Trump and his allies of promoting false claims the election was rigged, pressuring state and federal officials to alter the results and assembling fake slates of electors to try to wrest electoral votes from Biden.

Trump, 77, faces four counts, including conspiracy to defraud the U.S., to deprive citizens of their right to have their votes counted and to obstruct an official proceeding. The most serious charge carries a maximum prison sentence of 20 years.

When the court deputy read aloud the name of the case - "United States of America v. Donald J. Trump" - the former president shook his head in disapproval.

The next court date in the case will be Aug. 28 before U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, though Upadhyaya said Trump would not be required to attend. Aug. 28 is five days after the first scheduled Republican primary debate. Trump has yet to say whether he will take part.

Chutkan intends to set a trial date at that time, Upadhyaya said. Trump's lawyer, John Lauro, registered an early objection, arguing that the magnitude of the case and the amount of materials involved could require a lot of time.

"What we desire utmost is the opportunity to fairly defend President Trump in this matter," he said.

Prosecutor Thomas Windom countered that the case should proceed as normal, including with a speedy trial.

Trump was released without travel restrictions. One of his conditions of release is that he not discuss the case with any witnesses unless accompanied by his lawyers.

Trump has portrayed the indictment, as well as the other criminal cases against him, as a "witch hunt" intended to derail his White House campaign. In a series of social media posts since Tuesday, he has accused the Biden administration of targeting him for political gain.

He previously pleaded not guilty to federal charges that he retained classified documents after leaving office and New York state charges that he falsified documents in connection with hush money payments to a porn star.

Trump may soon face more charges in Georgia, where a state prosecutor is investigating his attempts to overturn the election there. The Atlanta-area prosecutor, Fani Willis, has said she will file indictments by mid-August.

"I NEED ONE MORE INDICTMENT TO ENSURE MY ELECTION!" Trump wrote on his Truth Social media platform ahead of his Thursday court appearance.

TRUMP RETAINS POLLING LEAD

About half of Republicans said they would not vote for Trump if he were convicted of a felony, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll, underscoring the potential risks his legal entanglements pose for his candidacy.

But the same poll, taken after Tuesday's indictment, also demonstrated his remarkable resiliency in the Republican primary race. He earned the support of 47% of Republicans, extending his lead over second-place Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, at 13%.

Three-quarters of Republicans said they agreed that the charges were "politically motivated," showing that Trump's claim that he is the victim of political persecution resonates with his base.

The vast majority of Republican leaders, including several competing with Trump for the White House, have either defended him or offered muted criticism, instead accusing the Biden administration of weaponizing the Justice Department against a campaign foe.

Many of the allegations in Tuesday's indictment had been well-documented in media reports and the investigation conducted by a U.S. House of Representatives select committee.

But the indictment featured some details that were not widely known, including several based on grand jury testimony and contemporaneous notes from former Vice President Mike Pence, who is also running for the Republican presidential nomination.

The indictment describes a phone call in which Pence told Trump there was no legal basis for the theory that Pence could block certification of the election.

"You're too honest," Trump responded, according to prosecutors.

Although Pence repeatedly told Trump he lacked the authority to reject electoral votes from certain states, Trump kept repeating the claim.

On Jan. 6, as he spoke to his supporters before they attacked the Capitol, Trump said: "If Mike Pence does the right thing, we win the election." Some rioters at the Capitol later chanted, "Hang Mike Pence!"

Far from deterred by the violence, Trump and his associates kept calling Republican members of Congress hours after the riot had ended, still intent on blocking certification, the indictment said.

Pence was one of the few prominent Republicans to criticize Trump on Tuesday, saying that "anyone who puts himself over the Constitution should never be president."
