ATLANTA — On Monday evening, a grand jury in Fulton County returned an indictment against former President Donald Trump, alleging that efforts to overturn the presidential election result in Georgia in 2020 amounted to an illegal conspiracy in violation of state laws.
That historic decision implicates not just Trump, but several of the former president's alleged co-defendants, as well, all of whom are charged with violating Georgia's organized crime statute.
The indictment comes after a nearly two-year investigation by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' office. Willis then presented her investigation to a special grand jury and recommended the case be presented before a regular grand jury -- the body that has the power to indict. (Regular grand jury vs. special purpose grand jury: What's the difference?)
Some of the alleged conspirators are also charged with other crimes -- ranging from pressuring public officials to violate their oaths, to forgery to impersonating a public officer.
