The grand jury indicted 18 other people, including Trump lawyers John Eastman and Rudy Giuliani, and former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis launched the Trump investigation in February 2021. The case focused on Trump’s post-2020 election phone calls to Georgia officials, including a call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on which Trump sought to "find" enough ballots to win the state. The investigation also focused on efforts by Trump and his allies to arrange a fake slate of Georgia electors that submitted certificates falsely attesting to a Trump win in the 2020 election.
This is the fourth indictment against Trump in 2023. In April, Trump pleaded not guilty to 34 felony charges of falsifying business records related to a Manhattan grand jury investigation over hush money paid to adult film actor Stormy Daniels.
Trump also faces two federal grand jury indictments: one related to his handling of classified documents after the end of his presidency, and the other related to his efforts to overturn 2020 election results leading up to and on Jan. 6, 2021.
