A local prosecutor in Georgia has become Democrats’ latest instrument of election interference, unveiling a fourth round of indictments against former President Donald Trump Monday night that would jail him and his legal team for activities like encouraging voters to tune into televised broadcasts.
Hours after Atlanta prosecutors prematurely uploaded the Trump indictments to an official government website, the Fulton County district attorney’s office secured the long-sought charges against the Republican frontrunner 15 months before the next election. Fani Willis successfully indicted 19 total defendants she plans to bring to trial together.
With 13 additional counts from Georgia prosecutors over objections to the 2020 presidential election, Trump is now faced with 91 charges as he leads the race for next year’s Republican nomination. Those now facing charges along with the former president include Trump’s last White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and attorney Rudy Giuliani.
Here is a run-down of the “criminal” acts cited by the Fulton County district attorney’s office in the unprecedented indictment.
Asking for Phone Numbers Is Criminal ‘Conspiracy’
The Fulton Country prosecutor indicted Meadows for soliciting phone numbers from a pair of Pennsylvania lawmakers.
“Meadows sent a text message to United States Representative Scott Perry from Pennsylvania and stated, ‘can you send me the number for the speaker and the leader of PA Legislature. POTUS wants to chat with them,’” the indictment reads. “This was an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy.”
Encouraging Voters to Watch Television Is Criminal ‘Conspiracy’
