Earlier this week, a grand jury in Fulton County, Georgia, returned a sweeping indictment of Donald Trump and 18 other individuals involved in his 2021 coup attempt, including attorneys Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Kenneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell, along with former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, for multiple alleged crimes related to their plot to nullify the 2020 presidential election by overturning the results in Georgia.
Trump himself was charged with "soliciting a public officer to violate their oath, conspiring to impersonate a public officer, conspiring to commit forgery in the first degree and conspiring to file false documents." The former president and his 18 co-defendants have also been charged under Georgia's racketeering laws because of the complex nature of their alleged conspiracy. Those charges carry a minimum sentence of five years in prison.
