Trump, 18 allies indicted in Georgia over 2020 election meddling, the 4th criminal case against him
The 97-page indictment details dozens of acts by Trump and his allies to undo his defeat in the battleground state, including hectoring Georgia's Republican secretary of state to find enough votes to keep him power, pestering officials with bogus claims of voter 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.
The document describes the former president of the United States, the former White House chief of staff, Trump's attorneys and the former mayor of New York as members of a"criminal organization" who were part of an"enterprise" that operated in Georgia and other states -- language that conjures up the operations of mob bosses and gang leaders.

Donald Trump and several allies have been indicted in Georgia over efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss in the state. As indictments mount, Trump -- the leading Republican candidate for president in 2024 -- often invokes his distinction as the only former president to face criminal charges. He is campaigning and fundraising around these themes, portraying himself as the victim of Democratic prosecutors out to get him.
