Key points from Trump’s indictment in Georgia RICO case
Former President Donald Trump and Allies Indicted in Georgia
In a stunning development, former President Donald Trump and several of his top allies have been indicted in Georgia. Late Monday night, a Fulton County grand jury charged them with alleged attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis described the 19 individuals charged under Georgia’s RICO Act as part of a “criminal enterprise.” This act allows prosecutors to connect various crimes committed by multiple defendants and argue that they were working together toward a criminal goal.
The indictment consists of 41 counts and includes Trump, Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Mark Meadows, Ken Chesebro, Jeffrey Clark, Jenna Ellis, Ray Stallings Smith III, Robert Cheeley, Mike Roman, David Shafer, Shawn Micah Tresher Still, Stephen Lee, Harrison Floyd, Trevian Kutti, Sidney Powell, Cathleen Latham, Scott Hall, and Misty Hampton.
The New York Times noted that the indictment contains several “baskets” of alleged criminal activity aimed at keeping the former president in office. It is important to note that none of the defendants were involved in all of the alleged different schemes. These schemes include making false claims of election fraud, attempting to install “fake” pro-Trump electors, tampering with voter data and election equipment, and harassing an election worker.
The case will be broadcast on television, allowing the public to witness all the evidence being presented.
