DONALD TRUMP HAS been indicted on charges of racketeering and a string of election crimes after a sprawling, two-year probe into his efforts to overturn his 2020 defeat to Joe Biden in the US state of Georgia.
With Trump already due to go on trial in New York, south Florida and Washington, the latest charges herald the unprecedented scenario of the 2024 presidential election being litigated as much from the courtroom as the ballot box. In a later statement, Trump’s lawyers said they “look forward to a detailed review of this indictment which is undoubtedly just as flawed and unconstitutional as this entire process has been.”
The harsh penalties associated with RICO cases can be an incentive for co-defendants to seek cooperation deals, and the statutes are usually used to target organised crime.Under federal law, anyone who can be connected to a criminal “enterprise” through which offences were committed can be convicted under RICO. The broader Georgia law doesn’t even require the existence of the enterprise.
