Trump and 18 allies
charged in Georgia
election meddling
By KATE BRUMBACK and ERIC TUCKER
Associated Press
ATLANTA (AP) — Donald Trump and 18
allies were indicted in Georgia on Mon-
day over their efforts to overturn his 2020
election loss in the state, with prosecutors
using a statute normally associated with
mobsters to accuse the former president,
lawyers and other aides of a “criminal
enterprise” to keep him in power. The
nearly 100-page indictment details
dozens of acts by Trump or his allies to
undo his defeat, including beseeching
Georgia’s Republican secretary of state
to find enough votes for him to win the
battleground state; harassing an election
worker who faced false claims of fraud;
and attempting to persuade Georgia
lawmakers to ignore the will of voters
and appoint a new slate of electoral
college electors favorable to Trump.
