Former President Trump has been indicted on criminal charges for his alleged efforts to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election results.
He’s accused of breaking state election laws in the weeks after election day. The charges center around actions that include allegedly making false claims of ballot fraud, and pressuring local officials to find him more votes to overturn the election. The Democratic Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has been investigating Trump and his allies for more than two years. Trump has denied any wrongdoing.
This marks the fourth time Trump has been indicted. In New York State, he faces criminal charges in connection with alleged hush money payments to a porn actress to cover up an affair. In Florida, he faces federal criminal charges for his handling of classified documents after he left office. In Washington, D.C., he faces more federal charges for his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
