Trump indicted in Georgia

Trump calls Georgia case ‘election interference’

New update dec 6 desc

In a joint statement issued late Monday, the top two Democrats in Congress — Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries — said the fourth case against former President Donald Trump, “just like the three which came before it, portrays a repeated pattern of criminal activity by the former president.”

Schumer and Jeffries went on to urge “Trump, his supporters, and his critics to allow the legal process to proceed without outside interference.”

Appearing on MSNBC on Monday night, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton — who lost the 2016 presidential election to Trump — called it “a terrible moment for our country, to have a former president accused of these terribly important crimes.”

”The only satisfaction may be that the system is working. Justice is being pursued,” Clinton added. Test

Testing an update.

In total, former President Donald Trump faces a total of 13 felony charges in the Georgia case, according to filings made available late Monday on the Fulton County Clerk’s Office website.

The first among them is a violation of Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations, or RICO, law, which is used to charge Trump and his associates for allegedly participating in a wide-ranging conspiracy to overturn the state’s 2020 election result.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis had been widely expected to use the law to charge Trump.

There are other charges related to allegedly trying to get a public official to violate an oath, conspiracy to impersonate a public officer, conspiracy to commit forgery, and conspiracy to commit false statements and file false documents.

Atlanta, GA – In Fulton County, GA, the booking process and arraignment/appearance process in criminal cases are two separate things. In this case, some arraignments/appearances may be virtual as dictated by the presiding judge.

At this point, based on guidance received from the district attorney’s office and presiding judge, it is expected that all 19 defendants named in the indictment will be booked at the Rice Street Jail.

Donald Trump has been indicted by a grand jury in Fulton County for meddling in the results of the 2020 election, which he lost in the state.

A grand jury voted Monday evening to bring a total of 13 felony charges against the former president, including violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations, or RICO, law, as well as violating his oath of office.

A slate of others were indicted along with Trump, including former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani — one of Trump’s attorneys — as well as former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.

This post has been updated to correct the spelling of Giuliani’s last name. It is Giuiani, not Guiliani.

Lorem ipsum.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis said former President Donald Trump and 18 others charged alongside him have nearly two weeks to surrender.

“I am giving the defendants the opportunity to voluntarily surrender no later than noon on Friday, the 25th day of August, 2023,” Willis said in a news conference shortly before midnight Monday.

Willis said she plans to try all 19 defendants together. She said she will ask for a trial to start within six months but added that scheduling decisions will be made by a judge.

She said the defendants are charged with conspiring to allow Trump “to seize the presidential term of office beginning on Jan. 20, 2021.”
