Donald Trump was indicted by a Fulton County grand jury — along with 18 others — and charged with conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia.
Key line from the 98-page indictment: “Trump and the other defendants charged in this indictment refused to accept that Trump lost, and they knowingly and willfully joined a conspiracy to unlawfully change the outcome of the election in favor of Trump.”
Trump faces 13 felony charges himself, including racketeering, conspiracy to commit forgery and filing false documents.
It appears there are also 30 unindicted co-conspirators.
Atlanta Journal Constitution: “The Georgia case is unique because in addition to Trump, it also charges a cast of supporting players— from former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani to then White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and former Georgia Republican Party Chairman David Shafer.”
New York Times: “Prosecutors describe the ‘criminal enterprise’ as one that operated not only in Fulton County, Ga., but also in other states, including Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, and in the District of Columbia. This underscores the power of a racketeering charge: Ms. Willis did not have to show that all of the acts took place in her jurisdiction.”
