As widely anticipated, the Fulton County grand jury returned a sweeping, factually detailed indictment against former President Donald J. Trump and 18 other defendants. The indictment also alleges an additional 30 unnamed, unindicted co-conspirators. Given the weight of the evidence and legal risk of jail time, expect some if not many of those individuals to negotiate plea deals with the district attorney over the next several months.

The lynchpin of the indictment is a charge under Georgia’s RICO statute based on the allegation that Trump and other defendants “associated in fact” and “knowingly and willfully joined a conspiracy to unlawfully change the outcome of the [2020 presidential] election in favor of Trump.” The indictment sets out the factual predicates for the RICO and other counts in painstaking detail.
