Former president is accused of planning a criminal enterprise in his attempt to reverse his defeat
Good morning.
Georgia prosecutors have indicted Donald Trump and some of his closest allies on state racketeering and conspiracy charges over efforts to reverse his defeat in the 2020 presidential election.
The sprawling 41-count indictment charges Trump himself with 13 counts and accuses him of orchestrating a criminal enterprise. This indictment marks the former president’s fourth criminal case as he campaigns to recapture the presidency.
“The events that have unfolded today have been shocking and absurd, starting with the leak of a presumed and premature indictment before the witnesses had testified or the grand jurors had deliberated and ending with the district attorney being unable to offer any explanation,” Trump’s legal team said in a statement after the indictment was issued.
