Former US President donald trump (2017-2021) is accused in Georgia as the leader of a criminal association created to reverse the results of the 2020 elections in that state and this Thursday he travels to that state to be booked on the charges against him.
The Prosecutor’s Office used to accuse him a law that is commonly used for mafia bosses, so that they and not only their subordinates are accountable before the Justice.
On this occasion, 18 people are listed as conspirators along with the former president, who will appear this Thursday at the Fulton County prison to be booked. These are his allies:
Rudy Giuliani, his former personal attorney and former mayor of new york
Like Trump, Giuliani has received 13 charges. The lawyer is credited with a key role in Trump’s post-election efforts to declare himself the winner in Georgia and other states, making unsubstantiated claims of fraud and calls on lawmakers to violate their oaths and illegally nominate pro-Republican presidential picks.
He is also a politician, who was elected “person of the year” by Time magazine for his leadership as New York mayor after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, has seen his popularity plummet for his support of Trump and could end up behind bars under the very law that, as attorney general, he used to combat the mafia in new york
Mark meadows, his former chief of staff at the white house
Meadows was one of the first Republican lawmakers to side with Trump before the 2016 election and has since become one of his trusted men.
He worked for him as chief of staff at the White House between March 2020 and January 2021.
He is accused of encouraging the belief of fraud and pressing to try to delay the joint session of Congress on January 6, 2021, the day Democrat Joe Biden’s victory was certified and the building was attacked by a mob of Republican supporters .
Jeffrey clark, his ally in the justice department
Clark sided with Trump and, as deputy attorney general, used his connections to try to turn the election around.
According to the Prosecutor’s Office, he produced a false document stating that his Department had identified “serious concerns that could have upset” that outcome and tried to get it validated by his superiors and forwarded to the Georgia authorities.
Campaign lawyers and Trump supporters
Lawyer John Eastman is involved in the scheme to place fake presidential electors in various key states, including Georgia, to falsely certify that Trump won the election there.
He is also accused of having presented documents with false allegations, such as the lawsuit that affirmed that in Georgia they had voted “at least 66,247 minors.”
Among the defendants are two of Trump’s then-campaign attorneys, Sidney Powell and Jenna Ellis, as well as a member of their legal team, Ray Smith; his director of operations, Michael Roman, attorney Kenneth Chesebro, considered the “brain” of the false voters plan, and Robert Cheeley, who encouraged suspicions by maintaining that some polling station was counting votes in duplicate or triplicate.
Three fake presidential electors
David Shafer, Cathleen Latham, and Shawn Still posed as fake Georgia presidential electors with the intent to trick the US Senate President, Georgia Archivist, Secretary of State, among others, into certifying votes to choose Trump despite the fact that he had lost the elections.
Each state in the United States has as many electors as there are members of Congress. A candidate needs the vote of at least 270 to win the elections and traditionally whoever wins in a State gets the vote of all its electors.
Shafer was chairman of the Georgia Republican Party, Latham was chair of the Coffee County Republican Party, and Still was a party official in the state.
Trevian Kutti, a publicist linked to the world of entertainment
Trevian Kutti is known for having been the publicist for rapper Kanye West. She was implicated in the plot by another defendant, Harrison Floyd, leader of the Black Voices for Trump organization, to try to influence a Georgia poll worker to give her testimony about the alleged voter fraud.
accomplices in coffee county
Coffee County Supervisor of Elections Misty Hampton went viral in a video claiming Dominion voting system machines could be tampered with.
The Prosecutor’s Office sees proven that he exceeded his authority by manipulating those computers and facilitating access to those machines to other conspirators.
Scott Hall, owner of a surety business, is also involved in this plot to manipulate the voting system, and among the charges received is that of conspiracy to defraud the State.
Stephen Lee, a Chicago-based Lutheran pastor
Lee is charged with attempting to influence poll worker Ruby Freeman multiple times between December 2020 and January 2021 into confessing to election crimes she did not commit.
“I’m a pastor and I’m also working with some guys to try to uncover the truth of what’s happening,” he told an agent when the woman, fed up with this intimidation in her own home, called the police to report it.
