Trump's Georgia Indictment Summary (:60 Second Read)



Monday night, Fani Willis, Fulton County, Georgia's District Attorney, enumerated the latest indictment charges against Donald J. Trump.

This is a much bigger, wide-ranging indictment that includes Trump and 18 of his cohorts, including Rudy Giuliani (former Trump lawyer); John Eastman (who planned, promoted and assisted Trump in the fake electors scheme); Mark Meadows (former chief of staff); Jeffrey Clark, Jenna Ellis, Sidney Powell (who pushed baseless claims of voter fraud); and others, plus 30 unindicted conspirators. 

The indictment describes the group as "a criminal organization whose members and associates engaged in various related criminal activities including, but not limited to, false statements and writings, impersonating a public officer, forgery, filing false documents, influencing witnesses, computer theft, computer trespass, computer invasion of privacy, conspiracy to defraud the state, acts involving theft, and perjury."

The indictment charges Trump with the following felony counts:
  • Violating the Georgia RICO Act
  • Three counts of solicitation of violation of oath by public officer
  • Conspiracy to commit impersonating a public officer
  • Two counts of conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree
  • Two counts of conspiracy to commit false statements and writings
  • Conspiracy to commit filing false documents
  • Two counts of false statements and writings
  • Filing false documents. 

Summary of all Trump's indictments:

FIRST Indictment: Falsifying financial records / hush money payoffs.

SECOND Indictment: Stealing classified documents / lying about them.

THIRD Indictment: Inciting riots at the Capitol after losing the election.

FOURTH Indictment: Sending forged documents to Congress (fake electors scheme); attempting to overturn his Georgia election loss in a phone call to Raffensperger telling him to "find 11,780" non-existent votes; intimidating election workers.

Trump and the other criminal defendants must turn themselves in by noon on August 25.

Trump will be arrested, fingerprinted, and get a mug shot.

Trump's Buried in Legal Troubles Now

Thursday night, Donald Trump was indicted on 7 counts in the Special Counsel's  classified documents probe, including violations of the Espionage Act and Conspiracy to Obstruct. His aide at the White House and at Mara Lago, Walt Nauta, was also indicted on Friday.

But as bad as that was for him, matters got even worse.

There's audio tape of him admitting he took classified documents of secret military plans to attack Iran after leaving the White House, and admitting he knows he cannot declassify them any longer.  This destroys his prior claims that anything he takes is magically, automatically declassified, and he knows it.  

Then on Friday morning, two more of his lawyers, Jim Trusty and John Rowley, quit in disgust. 

This, just four days before Donald is scheduled to appear in a Miami courtroom to be formally charged.

All this while even more criminal charges are pending. Special Counsel Jack Smith still is readying indictments regarding Trump's inciting of the January 6th riots at the Capitol. And in Georgia, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is investigating and will soon indict Trump on his attempts to force Georgia officials to overturn the will of that state's voters by concocting 11,780 non-existent votes for himself.

His indictment in Georgia will probably happen during late July or early August.
