Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is giving former President Donald Trump and his 18 alleged co-conspirators until noon Aug. 25 to voluntarily surrender and avoid arrest, she said at a news conference late Tuesday night.
Willis’ news conference came soon after a grand jury voted to indict Trump and his co-defendants, including former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, on a combined 41 criminal charges related to Trump’s scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
“Every individual charged in the indictment is charged with one count of violating Georgia’s [RICO] law through participation in a criminal enterprise in Fulton County, Georgia, and elsewhere to accomplish the illegal goal of allowing Donald J. Trump to seize the presidential term of office,” Willis said, ticking off the names of all 19 defendants.
