In the weeks after polls closed in the 2020 presidential race there was an all-out assault on Georgia’s election results as former President Donald Trump and his allies undertook a public — and private — campaign to change the outcome in his favor.
Erroneous claims about voting machines and election workers, endorsements of fringe theories by sitting lawmakers and numerous failed lawsuits were mounting by the day, but prosecutors in Atlanta have honed in on a few key events and a few key people that they could soon argue broke the law.
A slew of people inside Georgia and beyond participated in these efforts pushed by the former president, including: everyday voters who believed the election was stolen; select Republican Party officials; lawyers and lawmakers all the way up to Trump’s closest inner circle. Not all of them tried equally to overturn the election, and not all of them are potential targets in what is expected to be a sweeping racketeering case alleging a vast criminal conspiracy to steal an election.
But for some, like lawyers Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, Trump’s recent federal indictment for his efforts to undo his defeat combined with public-facing evidence from the special purpose grand jury that met recently in Georgia suggests their day in a Fulton County courtroom could come soon.
On this episode, we’ll start to untangle a complicated web of some of the Trump allies that may face charges here in Georgia in the coming days.
