Trump was accused of trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
The Georgia Supreme Court’s indictment accused former US President Donald Trump and his advisers of trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election and his defeat against Joe Biden.
According to this report, this charge was brought up by Falton County District Attorney Fannie Willis last evening and another case was added to Trump’s other charges.
In this 98-page indictment, the names of 19 defendants and 41 criminal cases appear. All the defendants were accused of extortion and extortion. A charge that, if proven, may bring up to 20 years of imprisonment for the accused.
Accordingly, former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, Rudy Giuliani and John Eastman are among those charged.
Fannie Willis said at a news conference that the defendants were also accused of forming a criminal and racketeering enterprise to change the results of the 2020 presidential election in the state of Georgia.
He added: Trump and other defendants in the case have until noon on Friday, August 25 (3 Shahrivar) to surrender voluntarily, otherwise they will be arrested.
Meanwhile, Trump’s lawyer Drew Findling said in a statement: The one-sided accusations were only based on the statements of witnesses who expressed their personal and political opinions. We will examine the details of this indictment, which is undoubtedly not legal.
According to this report, 13 criminal charges against Trump have been raised in this indictment. Among the accusations in this case, we can mention the manipulation of voting machines in rural areas of Georgia and the harassment of election workers who were closely monitoring the identification of conspiracy theories.
During a phone call on January 2, 2021, Trump asked Brad Raffensperger, a top Georgia election official, to find him enough votes to swing the election in the state. Raffensperger refused to do so. With the disclosure of this phone conversation, a new leaf was turned over against Trump’s illegal actions.
In a statement before the indictment was released, Donald Trump pleaded not guilty, and his campaign accused Willis of overtly favoring Democrats in an effort to influence his 2024 re-election bid.
Fannie Willis, meanwhile, has called at least two key witnesses to appear before a grand jury on Tuesday in her investigation into the former president’s attempt to overturn votes in the key state of Georgia in the 2020 presidential election.
Meanwhile, Reuters reported last night that according to a two-page document posted on the Fulton court website that was quickly removed from the site, the state of Georgia appears to be indicting Donald Trump on various charges, including extortion. , accuse conspiracy and false statements.
Accordingly, this is the fourth charge against him in less than 5 months and the second charge of trying to change the results of the 2020 elections. Earlier this month, he was accused in the federal court of Washington of designing several conspiracies to change the election results.
About two weeks ago, former US President Donald Trump denied the charges and claimed innocence in the trial court regarding his attempt to invalidate the results of the 2020 election.
Trump, as one of the Republican candidates in the 2024 presidential election, is facing charges such as conspiracy to deceive the nation, trying to prevent Congress from confirming Joe Biden’s victory, and disenfranchising voters.
It is the third lawsuit filed against Trump this year, but the first to try to hold him accountable for trying to stay in power in the weeks between his election defeat and the attack on Congress.
