00:00 Today, based on information developed by that investigation, a Fulton County grand jury
00:08 returned a true bill of indictment, charging 19 individuals with violations of Georgia
00:16 law arising from a criminal conspiracy to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential
00:26 election in this state.
00:30 The indictment includes 41 felony counts and is 97 pages long.
00:38 Please remember that everyone charged in this bill of indictment is presumed innocent.
00:45 Specifically, the indictment brings felony charges against Donald John Trump, Rudolph
00:54 William Louis Giuliani, John Charles Eastman, Mark Randall Meadows, John Cheeseborough,
01:08 Jeffrey Clark.
01:11 Every individual charged in the indictment is charged with one count of violating Georgia's
01:19 racketeer influenced and corrupt organizations act through participation in a criminal enterprise
01:29 in Fulton County, Georgia and elsewhere to accomplish the illegal goal of allowing Donald
01:38 J. Trump to seize the presidential term of office beginning on January 20th, 21.
01:49 Specifically, the participants in association took various actions in Georgia and elsewhere
01:57 to block the county of the votes of the presidential electors who were certified as the winners
02:04 of Georgia's 2020 general election.
02:09 The indictment alleges that rather than abide by Georgia's legal process for election challenges,
02:18 the defendants engaged in a criminal racketeering enterprise to overturn Georgia's presidential
02:26 election result.
02:29 Subsequent to the indictment, as is the normal process in Georgia law, the grand jury issued
02:36 arrest warrants for those who are charged.
02:39 I am giving the defendants the opportunity to voluntarily surrender no later than noon
02:47 on Friday, the 25th day of August, 2023.
