Former president charged over attempts to overturn 2020 election result in southern state - his fourth criminal indictment
Mr Trump was charged with 13 counts, including violating Georgia’s racketeering act, soliciting a public officer to violate their oath, conspiring to impersonate a public officer, conspiring to commit forgery in the first degree and conspiring to file false documents.
On Tuesday Mr Trump doubled down on his claims that the 2020 presidential election was beset by fraud. The indictment says Mr Trump lost the presidential election in November 2020 including in the state of Georgia but that he and other defendants refused to accept his defeat. The indictment charges Mr Trump – who is by far the frontrunner to secure the Republican Party nomination to run again for the White House next year – with 13 felonies.
Mr Trump has denied any wrongdoing and has accused Ms Willis, an elected Democrat, of being politically motivated.
