Indictment of Frank Underwood

On May 4, 2017, Frank Underwood, the 46th president of the United States, was indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of money laundering, obstruction of justice, wire fraud, perjury, terrorism, racketeering, and conspiracy to defraud the United States for his involvement in the Tusk money laundering scheme and his efforts to undermine the 2016 presidential election. Underwood was subsequently arraigned in federal court on all charges, where he pleaded not guilty.
U.S. President Claire Underwood had promised she would pardon her husband, but she recanted on that promise and never issued clemency, leading to increased tension between the two.
Underwood became the first president in American history to be indicted by a grand jury and face the potential of life imprisonment. The trial was set for September.
