BreakingNews Georgia grand jury indicts Donald Trump, 18 others in 2020 election interference probe
It's the fourth criminal case to be brought against the former president and the second to allege that he tried to subvert the results of the vote.
As indictments mount, Trump - the leading Republican candidate for president in 2024 - often invokes his distinction as the only former president to face criminal charges. He is campaigning and fundraising around these themes, portraying himself as the victim of Democratic prosecutors out to get him.
But the process hit an unexpected snag in the middle of the day, when Reuters reported on a document listing criminal charges to be brought against Trump, including state racketeering counts, conspiracy to commit false statements and solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer. Trump and his allies, who have characterized the investigation as politically motivated, immediately seized on the apparent error to claim that the process was rigged. Trump's campaign aimed to fundraise off it, sending out an email with the since-deleted document embedded.
Legal experts said it was likely a clerical error listing charges prosecutors were planning to ask the grand jury to vote on. Prosecutors draft indictments and present them to the grand jury, which ultimately decides whether to hand charges down. Chidi wrote in The Intercept last month that he barged "into a semi-clandestine meeting of Republicans pretending to be Georgia's official electors in December 2020." He described being thrown out of the room just after entering, told that it was an "education meeting."
