Indictments were returned by a Fulton County, Georgia grand jury Monday evening, against Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, former North Carolina Sen. Mark Meadows, and John Eastman. The 41-count indictment includes charges of racketeering, solicitation of violation of an oath by a public officer, conspiracy, and filing a false statement.
Others indicted are Kenneth Chesebro, Jeffrey Clark, Ray Smith III, Robert Cheeley, Michael Roman, David Shafer, Shawn Still, Stephen Lee, Harrison Floyd, Trevian Kutti, Sidney Powell, Cathleen Latham, Scott Hall, and Misty Hayes.

We reported back in April that Willis was looking at announcing criminal indictments related to the 2020 election between July 11 and September 1.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis said Monday that she will announce potential criminal indictments related to alleged interference in Georgia’s 2020 election between July 11 and Sept. 1, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution . In letters to local law enforcement, Willis asked them to be prepared for heightened security and potential public reactions. While she did not mention former President Donald Trump by name, legal experts believe that her letter suggests she is considering charges against Trump and his allies.
Monday morning the Fulton County Courts website briefly displayed a document showing that numerous criminal charges were “open” against Trump, including RICO, solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer, conspiracy to commit forgery, and conspiracy to solicit a false statement. The document, which had a case number and judge assigned, was removed, and the clerk said that the documents posted on their own website were “fictitious.”
Trump’s attorneys reacted at that point, in a statement released through Trump’s campaign:
The Fulton County District Attorney’s Office has once again shown that they have no respect for the integrity of the grand jury process. This was not a simple administrative mistake. A proposed indictment should only be in the hands of the District Attorney’s Office, yet it somehow made its way to the clerk’s office and was assigned a case number and a judge before the grand jury even deliberated. This is emblematic of the pervasive and glaring constitutional violations which have plagued this case from its very inception. –Drew Findling and Jennifer Little
