Who else was indicted in the Georgia election case besides Donald Trump? Complete list
There are a total of 19 defendants in the Georgia election case including the former president, and some of them have surrendered to the authorities.
Some of those accused of co-conspiring with former president Donald Trump in his attempts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia have surrendered to the authorities, including David Shafer, Cathy Latham, Ray Smith, and Ken Chesebro.
Trump is expected to turn himself in on Thursday to face his fourth criminal indictment in 2023.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has given the 19 defedants until noon on Friday to surrender to the county jail.
Alongside Trump, there are 18 other defendants accused of unduly influencing the election results in Georgia in the 2020 presidential election.
While all are charged for different crimes, all have been indicted on RICO charges, usually used for tackling organized crime.
Rudy Giuliani
Giuliani served as the Mayor of New York City from 1994 to 2001 before becoming an advisor to former President Donald Trump during his administration.
He was also Trump’s personal attorney and played a significant role in various legal matters, including the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and the subsequent impeachment proceedings against President Trump.
Ironically, Giuliani became famous for his use of RICO statutes to beat the power of the mob while he was a federal prosecutor in the 1980s, a charge he now finds himself on the receiving end of.
John Eastman
Eastman gained significant attention during the 2020 presidential election, serving as one of the attorneys representing then-President Donald Trump’s campaign.
He was involved in legal challenges to the election results in various states, alleging widespread voter fraud. However, these legal challenges were unsuccessful and the election results were confirmed by multiple courts and authorities.
Sidney Powell
Powell is an attorney and former federal prosecutor. She alleged that voting machines and software were manipulated to switch votes from Donald Trump to Joe Biden during the 2020 presidential election.
Powell also faced several defamation lawsuits from Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic, two election technology companies, over her false claims regarding their involvement in election fraud
Jeffrey Clark
Clark served as the Acting Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Division in the Department of Justice (DOJ) during the last weeks of the Trump administration.
In January 2021, The New York Times reported that Clark had been involved in a plan to use the DOJ’s power to cast doubt on the results of the 2020 election and potentially overturn the election results in favor of then-President Donald Trump.
Kenneth Chesebro
Chesebro is the least well known of the bunch, those names that are known anyway. The indictment references an “email memorandum” that Co-Conspirator 5 “sent” to Giuliani on 13 December, 2020, an email that was made public by the House select committee that investigated 6 January.
His LinkedIn has him listed as an attorney.
Mark Meadows
Meadows is an American politician who served as the White House Chief of Staff under President Donald Trump from March 2020 to January 2021.
Before becoming Chief of Staff, Meadows was a Representative for North Carolina’s 11th congressional district and was part of the ‘Freedom Caucus’.
