Fulton County Grand Jury Indicts 19 Individuals for Election Fraud
Today, a Fulton County grand jury returned a true bill of indictment charging 19 individuals with violations of Georgia law arising from a criminal conspiracy to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in this state. The indictment includes 41 felony counts and is 97 pages long.
The indictment brings felony charges against Donald John Trump, Rudolph William Lewis Giuliani, John Charles Eastman, Mark Randall Meadows, John Cheesebro, and Jeffrey Clark. The indictment alleges that, instead of abiding by Georgia’s legal process for election challenges, the defendants engaged in a criminal racketeering enterprise to overturn Georgia’s presidential election result.
As is the normal process in Georgia law, the grand jury issued arrest warrants for those who are charged. The defendants are given the opportunity to voluntarily surrender no later than noon on Friday, August 25, 2023.
An indictment is only a series of allegations based on a grand jury’s determination of probable cause to support the charges. It is now the duty of the district attorney’s office to prove these charges beyond a reasonable doubt at trial. Decisions in this office are based on facts and laws, completely nonpartisan.
This is the 11th Rico indictment in this office’s history, following the same process of looking at the facts and laws before bringing charges.
