Whos who in the landmark Fulton County indictment
ATLANTA (CNN) – Former President Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants were indicted in Georgia in connection with their attempts to overturn the 2020 election.
These historic state racketeering charges were filed on August 14, 2023, by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, an elected Democrat who has been investigating Trump’s interference in the Georgia election since early 2021.
Some defendants have pleaded guilty and agreed to cooperate with prosecutors.
Trump and the remaining defendants are presumed innocent at this point in the legal process and have pleaded not guilty. Many of these figures have vehemently denied any wrongdoing, and some have argued that they were simply trying to rectify what they believed were serious irregularities that tainted the 2020 election.
Here’s a breakdown of who was indicted in the Fulton County case, and how they’re tied to Trump’s wide-ranging efforts to subvert the 2020 election in Georgia.
