Trump Indicted on Multiple Charges
Former President Donald Trump was indicted on Monday by a grand jury in Fulton County, Georgia, on charges of racketeering and other crimes.
The indictment, which was unsealed early Friday afternoon, alleges that Trump and his associates engaged in a pattern of criminal activity to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
The charges against Trump include:
- Racketeering conspiracy
- Solicitation of election fraud
- False statements and writings
- Intimidation
The indictment alleges that Trump and his associates engaged in a multi-state conspiracy to overturn the results of the election, including by pressuring state officials to change the results, filing lawsuits to challenge the results, and encouraging his supporters to storm the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Trump has denied the charges and has called the indictment a "witch hunt."
The indictment of Trump is a significant development in the ongoing investigation into his efforts to overturn the election. It is unclear at this time whether Trump will be convicted of any of the charges against him, but the indictment is a major blow to his political future.
