Former US president Donald Trump has attended Federal Court in Washington DC, where he faces four charges over the 2020 election, including conspiracy to defraud the United States.

Former federal prosecutor Dennis Aftergut says the case is bigger than the trial of the century.

He left his home accompanied by a motorcade earlier this morning, and the courthouse itself hosted a heavy security presence.
