Mr. Donald Trump has a list of indictments. He has been charged with trying to tamper with the election results and is facing a series of charges for that. Recently a Georgia Grand Jury trial indicted him for his offenses.
Right now, Mr. Donald Trump is all set to face 5 major Court cases (all of which are separate) around his campaign of 2024.
Mr. Trump and his legal team are trying to counter the lawsuits or try and delay this trial so that he can take an active part in the presidential election campaign of 2024.
The Grand Jury Trial
The Grand jury confirmed the several conspiracy charges brought about against Mr Trump.
It indicted the 2024 Republican presidential candidate on Monday evening on charges of election fraud. He was charged with conspiring to steal Georgia’s votes from the current President, Joe Biden after he won in the 2020 election.
What are the charges?
The charges for which Mr. Trump is being tried are based on the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (also called RICO)
It penalizes the activities of individuals engaging in organized crime.
The said indictment caused 41 charges against 19 defendants. It accuses Donal Trump, his co-conspirators (allies) of a plan to have state officials stop Biden from taking office after his victory. Instead, they had allegedly tried to award the state to Trump.
Expecting The Expected
District Attorney Fani Willis of Fulton County first launched her investigation into the Georgia election fraud back in February 2021.
The indictment surely does not come as a surprise. A special grand jury had recommended unspecified charges in February 2023.
Fani Willis said has stated that she wants a trial date “within the next six months,” “but scheduling is up to the appointed judge.”
The indictment also gives a detailed report of what was going on behind the scenes. It focused on the immense pressure the campaign directed at state election workers. There were multiple complaints of harassment of poll workers by Trump. They were falsely accused of fraud.
