Donald Trump and 18 of his associates, including his former chief of staff Mark Meadows and Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani, have been indicted in Georgia for their efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in the state. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis filed the indictment, accusing them of participating in a criminal enterprise to unlawfully retain power. The indictment details various acts by Trump and his allies, such as pressuring Georgia’s secretary of state to find additional votes and attempting to convince lawmakers to appoint electors favorable to Trump. One episode involves a plot to access voting machines and steal data. This indictment expands on previous charges against Trump and includes close aides as unindicted co-conspirators. The indictment outlines over 160 acts by Trump and his associates, including his call to Georgia’s secretary of state to find enough votes to overturn the election, false claims by Trump questioning the integrity of the process, and false statements made by Giuliani. Trump, who is currently a leading Republican candidate for the 2024 presidential election, portrays himself as the victim of Democratic prosecutors and maintains his innocence. The charges have sparked strong reactions from Trump’s allies, with Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy dismissing the case as a desperate sham. The trial is set to begin within six months.
