AP - Donald Trump
and 18 allies were indicted in Georgia on Monday over their efforts to
overturn his 2020 election loss in the state, with prosecutors using a
statute normally associated with mobsters to accuse the former president, lawyers and other aides of a “criminal enterprise” to keep him in power. The nearly 100-page indictment details dozens of acts by Trump or his allies to undo his defeat,
including beseeching Georgia’s Republican secretary of state to find
enough votes for him to win the battleground state; harassing an
election worker who faced false claims of 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.In
one particularly brazen episode, it also outlines a plot involving one
of his lawyers to access voting machines in a rural Georgia county and
steal data from a voting machine company.
CNN - Former President Donald Trump has warned the Supreme Court of "chaos and bedlam" if states are allowed to bar him from the 2024 ballot. A growing number of states are pushing forward with efforts to exclude the likely Republican presidential nominee from their ballots, resulting in appeals from Trump's team.
