- A Georgia grand jury indicted Donald Trump over his attempts to overturn 2020 election results.
- Trump, then the president, asked Georgia's secretary of state to "find" votes ensuring he'd win.
A Georgia grand jury indicted former President Donald Trump over his attempts to overturn his loss in the state to Joe Biden during the 2020 presidential election.
The charges, sought by Fulton County's district attorney, Fani Willis, include violating Georgia's RICO statute, solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer, conspiracy to commit impersonating a public officer, conspiracy to commit forgery, conspiracy to commit false statements and writings, conspiracy to commit filing false documents, filing false documents, and making false statements and writings.
A number of other Trump allies were also charged in connection to efforts to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia, including former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former DOJ official Jeffrey Clark, GOP attorneys Sidney Powell, Kenneth Chesebro, John Eastman, and others.
Trump has denied any wrongdoing and has railed against Willis.
Prosecutors have spent years investigating the circumstances surrounding Trump's infamous call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in January 2021, where the then-president asked Raffensperger to "find" 11,780 votes to flip the state in his favor.
Trump has continued to falsely insist that the 2020 presidential election was illegitimate and that he was the true victor.
Willis sought testimony during her investigation from high-profile people involved in Georgia's election process and close to Trump. She fought court battles to have Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican, testify before an earlier grand jury, as well as Trump's former chief of staff Mark Meadows, his attorney Rudy Giuliani, and others.
