Former U.S. President Donald Trump arrived in Washington on Thursday to face charges in federal court he led a conspiracy built on lies to overturn the 2020 presidential election, culminating in an attack on the seat of American democracy.

Trump, the front-runner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, landed in his private plane at Reagan National Airport at 2:47 pm ahead of a scheduled 4 p.m. ET (2000 GMT) arraignment.

The courthouse is about half a mile (1 km) from the U.S. Capitol, the building Trump supporters stormed on Jan. 6, 2021, in a failed bid to stop Congress from certifying his loss to Democrat Joe Biden.
