Georgia prosecutors have charged former President Donald Trump and 18 of his allies with a wide-ranging scheme to undo the 2020 presidential election results. The 98-page indictment includes charges of election fraud, racketeering, and other counts related to their alleged efforts to overturn the results in Georgia and beyond.
Fani Willis, the elected district attorney of Fulton County, Georgia, announced the criminal case on Monday. This is the fourth case brought against Trump in the past few months.
The indictment covers events that began around the time of the November 3, 2020 election and continued through President Joe Biden’s term in office. It alleges that Trump and his allies spread lies and bullied officials in order to reverse the election results.
The timeline of the investigation begins on Election Day, when Biden won a narrow victory in Georgia, a state that had not gone for a Democrat in a presidential election since 1992.
The indictment includes a wide range of individuals, from attorneys to former top government officials. It is unclear what the consequences of the charges will be, but the case is expected to be closely watched as it moves forward.
