In August, Donald Trump and 18 of his associates were charged in Fulton County, Georgia, over claims they acted illegally while attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election result in the state.
The former president has pled not guilty to 13 charges, including counts of conspiracy to commit forgery, solicitation of violation of oath by a public official and breaking Georgia's anti-racketeering act. Trump surrendered voluntarily and had his mug shot taken, causing a social-media sensation. He insists all the charges against him are politically motivated.
However, the special grand jury that recommended the charges initially called for 39 people to be charged. This is according to its final report, which was unsealed by a judge on Friday.
Newsweek has provided a summary of the 39 individuals that the special grand jury initially recommended charges against.
