A court document in Georgia indicated Trump would be criminally charged under 13 different statutes. The top charge would be RICO, over his efforts to overturn election results. The document was pulled down after a few moments, according to Reuters. The document briefly posted on the court website Monday indicates Trump will be charged with RICO, soliciting public officials to violate their oaths of office, conspiracy, and filing false statements. His indictment also covers Trump pressuring Georgia officials to "find" votes and conspiring with others to use false electors to convince Congress to declare him the winner of the 2020 election.

Donald Trump has been indicted as part of the Department of Justice's investigation into the events leading up to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. The riot was the culmination of efforts by Trump's supporters to block the certification of Biden's election. The Justice Department, in a team led by Special Counsel Jack Smith, brought the charges. Trump announced last month that Smith's team had served him a target letter indicating he may be indicted in the investigation. Trump and six co-conspirators also attempted to rope then-Vice President Mike Pence in their scheme and use the Justice Department to keep Trump in power, the indictment alleges.

Fulton County DA Fani Willis was spotted partying with Shaq at his birthday party over the weekend. Willis is weighing whether to empanel a grand jury for criminal indictments against Donald Trump. A special grand jury Willis empaneled completed a report into Trump in January. If Willis now refers the case to a grand jury, it would have the power to bring criminal indictments. Criminal cases, such as the Manhattan and Georgia cases, typically get priority over civil cases in court calendars when they're running concurrently.
The forewoman of Georgia's special grand jury investigating Trump gave a series of media interviews. Kohrs declined, however, to answer the question on everyone's mind: Whether the special grand jury, in its still-secret report, recommended criminal charges against Trump himself. Willis empaneled the special grand jury in May 2022. Fani Willis, right, will now choose whether to impanel an ordinary grand jury to consider charges against Trump. That extra step between Kohrs's special purpose grand jury, and another grand jury that has yet to be empaneled, is another reason why Kohrs's comments are of little consequence, Rahmani said.
The Georgia special grand jury that probed efforts to overturn the 2020 election wanted criminal charges against multiple people. Its forewoman told The New York Times "it's not rocket science" when asked if Trump was on the list. Fulton County DA Fani Willis must now decide whether to bring criminal indictments to a regular grand jury. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis empaneled the special grand jury between May and January. The special grand jury did not have the power to bring criminal indictments but created a report with charging recommendations.
A special grand jury in Georgia found that "one or more witnesses" who appeared before it may have committed perjury. "The Grand Jury recommends that the District Attorney seek appropriate indictments for such crimes where the evidence is compelling." Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis empaneled the grand jury in May 2022 in Atlanta. Willis must now decide whether to bring indictmentsWhile the special grand jury had vast investigative powers, it didn't have the ability to bring indictments. Willis is now tasked with reviewing the special grand jury's report and deciding whether to bring it in front of an ordinary grand jury, which may decide whether to issue criminal charges.
