Former President Donald Trump and 18 others, including former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and attorneys John Eastman and Rudy Giuliani, were named as part of a sprawling indictment by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
The 41-count indictment unsealed Monday in Georgia accused Trump and 18 other defendants of unlawfully conspiring, saying they"endeavored to conduct and participate in a criminal enterprise” after Trump lost the election in Georgia.Trump is facing his fifth indictment among four cases in less than five months.
“Trump and the other Defendants charged in this Indictment refused to accept that Trump lost, and they knowingly and willfully joined a conspiracy to unlawfully change the outcome of the election in favor of Trump,” the indictment states. “That conspiracy contained a common plan and purpose to commit two or more acts of racketeering activity in Fulton County, Georgia, elsewhere in the State of Georgia, and in other states.
Prosecutors in Willis's office claim the group “engaged in various related criminal activities including, but not limited to, false statements and writings, impersonating a public officer, forgery, filing false documents, influencing witnesses, computer theft, computer trespass, computer invasion of privacy, conspiracy to defraud the state, acts involving theft, and perjury.
It also noted Giuliani's claims that Dominion Voting Systems equipment mistakenly recorded 6,000 votes for then-candidate Joe Biden rather than Trump.John Eastman, a former University of Colorado visiting professor, is accused of aiding in the design of a legal strategy targeted at keeping Trump in power after his 2020 election loss. He is also allegedly one of the central figures in using claims of made-up electors in swing states won by Biden.
