BREAKING: A grand jury in Georgia has indicted Donald Trump on racketeering charges related to the 2020 election, marking the fifth indictment across four criminal cases this year against the former president and current 2024 GOP frontrunner.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis brought the charges, which included a number of RICO violations, against Trump and 18 others, according to court filings.Willis began investigating efforts by Trump and his allies to overturn the results of the 2020 election in January 2021, and she convened a grand jury in May 2022, according to portions of the grand jury's final report released this year.
Following the report's release, grand jury forewoman Emily Kohrs went on a controversial media tour, previewing to several outlets that Willis was expected to bring charges against a long list of people, though she did not name anyone specifically. Her comments forced the judge overseeing the grand jury to clarify at the time that Georgia jurors could speak about their final report but not deliberations.
"A proposed indictment should only be in the hands of the District Attorney's Office, yet it somehow made its way to the clerk's office and was assigned a case number and a judge before the grand jury even deliberated," attorneys Drew Findling and Jennifer Little said."This is emblematic of the pervasive and glaring constitutional violations which have plagued this case from its very inception.
