Georgia Grand Jury Indicts Former President Donald Trump
37-Count Racketeering Indictment Unsealed
Breaking News: Trump Faces Felony Charges
A Georgia grand jury has indicted former President Donald Trump on 37 counts of racketeering, according to an indictment unsealed early Friday afternoon. The indictment, which was returned late Monday, is the culmination of an investigation into Trump's alleged attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. Trump is the first former president in U.S. history to be indicted by a federal grand jury.
The indictment alleges that Trump and his associates engaged in a pattern of racketeering activity, including solicitation of fraud, influencing witnesses, and obstructing an official proceeding. The charges stem from Trump's efforts to pressure Georgia officials to change the results of the election, including his infamous phone call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in which he allegedly pressured Raffensperger to "find" enough votes to overturn the election.
The indictment is a significant development in the ongoing investigations into Trump's actions surrounding the 2020 election. It is unclear at this time what the next steps in the case will be, but the indictment is likely to have a major impact on Trump's political future and the upcoming 2024 presidential election.
