« Back to Glossary Index

Sedition is a broad and rebellious act against our government

This crime includes the crime of conspiracy, which is an agreement between individuals within an insurgent group to aid and assist in the government’s violent overthrow.

For example, in 2023, former President, Donald Trump, was indicted for conspiracy with others inside and outside the government to disrupt and harm the existing power structure of the U.S. government. The grand jury indictment alleges Trump did this through fraud, deception, obstruction of justice, and other seditious acts in his attempt to overturn a lawful presidential election.
