On Monday, an Atlanta grand jury indicted former President Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants on state charges stemming from their efforts to overturn the former president’s 2020 electoral defeat in the battleground state.
The sweeping 41-count indictment from Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is the fourth criminal case that Trump is facing. All 19 co-defendants must surrender by August 25 at noon ET, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis told reporters Monday after the indictment was released.
The indictment also included an additional 30 unindicted co-conspirators in addition to the charged defendants.
Willis’ indictment also went well beyond what transpired in Georgia as she used the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) violations to charge a broad criminal conspiracy.

“Trump and the other Defendants charged in this Indictment refused to accept that Trump lost, and they knowingly and willfully joined a conspiracy to unlawfully change the outcome of the election in favor of Trump,” the indictment states. “That conspiracy contained a common plan and purpose to commit two or more acts of racketeering activity in Fulton County, Georgia, elsewhere in the State of Georgia, and in other states.”
Among the indicted is former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, who built his reputation as a US Attorney by employing RICO to target organized crime syndicates. However, he Now finds himself facing a twist of fate as he has been officially charged with RICO-related offenses by the Fulton County District Attorney’s office.
