Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis held a press conference late Monday night addressing the indictments a grand jury returned charging former President Donald J. Trump and his allies with interfering in the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.Former President Donald Trump and 18 other people were indicted by a Fulton County grand jury on Monday, accused of scheming to illegally overturn his 2020 election loss in Georgia.
Willis says the defendants took "various actions" in their attempt to overturn the results of the election. Trump faces three counts of solicitation of violation of oath by public officer, four counts of false statement and writings, two counts of conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree, two counts of conspiracy to commit false statements and writings, a single count of conspiracy to commit filing false documents, and filing false documents, according to the indictment.
"Ripping a page from Crooked Joe Biden's playbook, Willis has strategically stalled her investigation to try and maximally interfere with the 2024 presidential race and damage the dominant Trump campaign," the statement reads in part. The grand jury heard from witnesses into the evening Monday in the election subversion investigation into Trump, a long day of testimony punctuated by the mysterious and brief appearance on a county website of a list of criminal charges against the former president that prosecutors later disavowed. "It's a very low burden, which is why, oftentimes, we joke in the legal community about grand juries indicting ham sandwiches because everything favors the prosecution," Kreis said.
"The thing about election law crimes is that they are very often going to involve political actors or political parties or political organizations or all sorts of, you know, partisan entities," he said.
