Trump and 18 others charged in Georgia election inquiry
Donald Trump, along with 18 others, have been charged with attempting to overturn his 2020 election loss in the state of Georgia.
A grand jury voted to charge Trump and 18 others with 41 charges – 13 against Trump.
It’s now the fourth time he has been criminally charged this year. Trump has denied all charges and his team said the US had become “a Marxist Third World Dictatorship.”
An investigation was launched in February 2021 into allegations of election meddling against Trump and his associates.
The indictment was issued on Monday night, and the defendants have the opportunity to voluntarily surrender no later than noon on Friday 25 August.
The alleged co-conspirators include Trump’s former lawyer Rudy Giuliani, former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and former White House lawyer John Eastman.
