Former president Donald Trump has been indicted in the state of Georgia, along with several 2020 campaign allies, for attempting to subvert the result of the last presidential election.
Trump has been charged with:
- violation of the Georgia RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization) act
- solicitation of violation of oath by public officer (three counts)
- conspiracy to commit impersonating a public officer
- conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree (two counts)
- conspiracy to commit false statements and writings (two counts)
- conspiracy to commit filing false documents
- filing false documents
- false statements and writings (two counts)
Other notable Trumpworld figures on Fani Willis’s indictment include Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Mark Meadows, Jeffrey Clark, Jenna Ellis and Sidney Powell.

This is the fourth time Trump has been indicted this year. It follows an indictment in New York State by Alvin Bragg for alleged hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels and two federal indictments from Special Counsel Jack Smith: one for the classified documents debacle and the other for his post-election activities in 2020 that, Smith argues, led to the Capitol riot of January 6, 2021.
In a typically neutral statement, the Trump campaign said: “Like Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, Deranged Jack Smith, and New York AG Letitia James, Fulton County, GA’s radical Democrat District Attorney Fani Willis is a rabid partisan who is campaigning and fundraising on a platform of prosecuting President Trump through these bogus indictments.”
“They are taking away President Trump’s First Amendment right to free speech, and the right to challenge a rigged and stolen election that the Democrats do all the time. The ones who should be prosecuted are the ones who created the corruption.” The Trump campaign has yet to prove that the 2020 election was rigged or stolen before a judge.
