A Georgia grand jury has returned a 97-page indictment with 41 felony counts against 19 defendants, including former President Donald Trump, his lawyers, and members of his administration. The indictment was the result of a marathon session on Monday.
The indictment includes charges of filing false documents, racketeering, and other crimes related to attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election in the state. Trump responded with fury early Tuesday morning, taking to his Truth Social account to blast Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
The other defendants in the indictment include Trump’s lawyers Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, John Eastman, Kenneth Chesebro, and Jenna Ellis, as well as Trump DOJ official Jeff Clark and former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.
The news of the indictment was met with surprise and uncertainty, with moment-by-moment reporting from the Fulton County courthouse. Trump’s legal team has yet to comment on the indictment.
The indictment is the latest development in a long-running saga of legal battles and investigations against the former president. It remains to be seen how the case will play out, and what the implications will be for the defendants.
