- Trump was indicted again Monday in connection to his efforts to overturn Georgia’s election results.
- Fulton County DA Fani Willis charged the former president with 13 crimes including racketeering.
- 18 other defendants were charged in addition to Trump. Here’s what we know.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis indicted former President Donald Trump and 18 other co-defendants with charges including racketeering, conspiracy, and making false statements in her wide-ranging investigation into efforts to overturn Georgia’s election results in the 2020 election.
All told Willis’ indictment alleges that Trump and several of his campaign advisors and political operatives orchestrated a plan to pressure Georgia election officials to “find” votes to reverse Joe Biden’s win, and schemed to send fake electors to Congress on January 6, 2021, to falsely install him as president.
In February, the foreperson for the Fulton County grand jury, who heard months worth of witness testimony told CNN, that the amount of recommended indictments was “not a short list.”
More than 75 witnesses were called before the grand jury throughout the probe, per CNN. Ultimately, the grand jury decided to charge the following people in addition to Trump:
- 2 Republican activists who signed fake Elector Certificates: Georgia Republican Party Chairman David Shafer and former Coffee County GOP chair Cathleen Latham
- Former Trump attorneys Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Kenneth Cheseboro, Jeffrey Clark, Jenna Ellis, and Ray Smith III
- Former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows
- Former Trump staffer Michael Roman
- Georgia attorney Robert Cheeley
- Former GOP finance chairman Shawn Still
- Police chaplain Stephen Lee
- Harrison Floyd, a leader with the organization Black Voices for Trump
- Trevian Kutti, a Chicago publicist for Kanye West
- Dallas attorney Sidney Powell
- Scott Hall, a Georgia bail bondsman and Fulton County Republican poll watcher
- Misty Hampton, Coffee County elections supervisor
Willis also elected to prosecute Trump and his allies with racketeering charges — a charge initially created to prosecute the mafia — which holds the harshest prison sentence among the laundry list of charges.
