Trump faces fourth charge over call to Georgia demanding ‘find 11,780 votes’

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has been indicted by a Georgia Fulton County grand jury over an attempt to secure a 2020 presidential election review. Other 18 defendants include his former attorney Rudy Giuliani, former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, and former Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Clark, reports CNN. This is the fourth criminal charge in five months against Trump, who has re-entered the race for the presidency. The previous charges are for actions in the storming of the Capitol in 2021, for possession of the house of classified materials and for falsifying financial records in the payment of a fee for silence to pornographic actress Stormy Daniels.

The new accusation has 13 counts. So, only on the central point – violation of the law of the state of Georgia “on corrupt and under the influence of racketeer organizations” (RICO Act) – he can face from 5 to 20 years in prison. We are talking about 161 actions of a “criminal organization” led by Trump (consisting of a group of people with common interests), which, with the help of racketeering, tried to maintain power.
