Donald Trump election probe court files criminal charges
Former US President Donald Trump has been charged with attempting to overturn his 2020 election loss in the state of Georgia.There are 41 charges, with 13 against Mr Trump. It is the fourth time he has been criminally charged this year.Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis launched an investigation in February 2021 into allegations of election meddling against Mr Trump and his associates.
Others include a former justice department official, Jeffrey Clark, and Sidney Powell and Jenna Ellis - two Trump lawyers who amplified unfounded claims of widespread voter fraud. The indictment refers to the defendants as a "criminal organization", accusing them of other crimes including influencing witnesses, computer trespass, theft and perjury.
Mr Trump, currently the frontrunner in the Republican Party's race to pick its next candidate for the White House, said the investigation by Ms Willis, a Democrat, was politically motivated. The filing said Mr Trump had been charged with racketeering, conspiracy to commit fraud and making false statements.
Ms Willis' investigation focuses specifically on Georgia, a key battleground state for the US presidency that Mr Trump narrowly lost.
