(Sharecast News) - Donald Trump and several allies were indicted in Georgia last night, charged with launching a "criminal enterprise" to overturn the result of the 2020 presidential election in the state, after demanding that officials "find" the extra votes to reverse President Biden's victory. In the indictment issued by district attorney Fani Willis in Fulton County after a two-year investigation, Trump, 77, was accused of racketeering, forgery and a string of other election crimes as he and associates pressured Georgia officials to overturn his narrow defeat to Biden. The indictment, which hinges on laws originally designed to prosecute the mafia, could prompt the first televised criminal trial of a former president in US history. - The Times
