ATLANTA (AP) – Former President Donald Trump and several allies, including Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and attorney Rudy Giuliani, were indicted in Georgia on Monday, accused of scheming to illegally overturn his 2020 election loss in the state. It’s the fourth criminal case to be brought against the former president and the second to allege that he tried to subvert the results of the vote.
The Fulton County grand jury indictment of Trump follows a two-year investigation ignited by a January 2021 phone call in which the then-president suggested that Georgia’s Republican secretary of state could help him “find 11,780 votes” needed to reverse his narrow loss to Democrat Joe Biden.

ATLANTA (AP) — A grand jury in Georgia that has been investigating former President Donald Trump over his efforts to undo the 2020 election results in that state has returned 10 indictments.
Documents were presented around 9 PM Eastern by the county courts clerk to the Fulton County judge who for months has been presiding over the investigation. The grand jury heard from witnesses into the evening Monday in the election subversion investigation into Donald Trump.
The long day of testimony was punctuated by the mysterious and brief appearance on a county website of a list of criminal charges against the former president that prosecutors later disavowed.
