Who are the 18 co-defendants charged alongside Donald Trump in Georgia?

(ATLANTA) — Former President Donald Trump and 18 others were charged Monday in a sweeping racketeering indictment related to efforts to overturn 2020 election results in Georgia.

The indictment alleges that Trump and the other defendants “refused to accept that Trump lost, and they knowingly and willfully joined a conspiracy to unlawfully change the outcome of the election in favor of Trump.”

Here’s a look at each of the defendants, the charges they face and how prosecutors say they participated in the alleged scheme.

1. Donald Trump (13 counts)

One count of violation of the Georgia RICO Act; three counts of solicitation of violation of oath by public officer; two counts of conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree; two counts of conspiracy to commit false statements and writings; two counts of false statements and writings; one count of conspiracy to commit filing false documents; one count of filing false documents and conspiracy to commit to impersonating a public officer

Among the charges, the indictment states that Trump “falsely declared victory” in the 2020 presidential election during a nationally televised speech on Nov. 4, 2020, and that the speech was “an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy.”

The indictment also cites the phone call Trump made to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Jan. 2, 2021, stating that Trump is charged with unlawfully soliciting Raffensperger “to engage in conduct constituting the felony offense” of his oath as a public officer by “unlawfully influencing” the results of the 2020 election in Georgia.

Trump’s campaign called the indictment “un-American and wrong” in a statement early Tuesday. The former president contends his actions were not illegal and the investigation is politically motivated.

2. Rudy Giuliani (13 counts)

One count of violation of the Georgia RICO Act; three counts of solicitation of violation of oath by public officer; three counts of false statements and writing; two counts of conspiracy to commit false statements and writings; two counts of conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree; one count of conspiracy to commit impersonating a public officer; one count of conspiracy to commit filing false documents

According to prosecutors in Fulton County, one-time Trump personal attorney Rudy Giuliani aided Trump in perpetrating a sweeping effort to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in the state, including by making false statements to state election officials and contributing to the harassment of two election workers, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss.

Responding to the indictment, Giuliani said it was “an affront to American Democracy and does permanent, irrevocable harm to our justice system.”

3. John Eastman (9 counts)

One count of violation of the Georgia RICO Act; two counts of conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree; two counts of conspiracy to commit false statements and writings; one count of solicitation of violation of oath by public officer; one count of conspiracy to commit filing false documents; one count of conspiracy to commit impersonating a public officer; one count of filing false documents

The indictment names former Trump election lawyer John Eastman among those allegedly involved in a scheme to solicit public officers to unlawfully appoint Georgia presidential electors.

Eastman’s attorney called the indictment a political move n a statement to the Washington Examiner.

“Lawyers everywhere should be sleepless over this latest stunt to criminalize their advocacy,” Eastman’s attorney, Harvey Silverglate, said in the statement. “This is a legal cluster bomb that leaves unexploded ordinances for lawyers to navigate in perpetuity.”

4. Mark Meadows (2 counts)

One count of violation of the Georgia RICO Act; one count of solicitation of violation of oath by public officer

Among the actions attributed to Trump’s former chief of staff, on Dec. 22, 2020, Mark Meadows traveled to Cobb County Center and “attempted to observe the signature match audit being performed by law enforcement officers and officials from the Georgia Secretary of State despite the fact that the process was not open to the public,” the indictment stated. The officials prevented Meadows from entering the space where the audit was being conducted, according to the indictment.

A day later, Trump placed a call to the office of the Georgia Secretary of State Chief Investigator Frances Watson that had been arranged by Meadows, during which Trump falsely stated he had won the 2020 election by “hundreds of thousands of votes,” according to the indictment.

Meadows then sent a text message to a state investigator on Dec. 27, 2020, asking if there was a way to “speed up” results ahead of Jan. 6, “an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy,” according to the indictment.

The indictment also identifies Meadows as being on Trump’s Jan. 2, 2021, call to Raffensperger.

In a motion filed Tuesday seeking to move the case to federal court, Meadows’ attorney, George Terwilliger, wrote: “Nothing Mr. Meadows is alleged in the indictment to have done is criminal per se: arranging Oval Office meetings, contacting state officials on the President’s behalf, visiting a state government building, and setting up a phone call for the President.”

“One would expect a Chief of Staff to the President of the United States to do these sorts of things,” Terwilliger continued.

5. Kenneth Chesebro (7 counts)

One count of violation of the Georgia RICO Act; two counts of conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree; two counts of conspiracy to commit false statements and writings; one count of conspiracy to commit filing false documents; one count of conspiracy to commit impersonating a public officer

The indictment describes how several of the co-defendants, including attorney Kenneth Chesebro, allegedly worked together from Dec. 11, 2020, through Dec. 25, 2020, in several states including Georgia and Arizona to commit acts “in furtherance of the conspiracy.” The acts include Chesebro sending emails to co-defendant Michael Roman regarding Trump presidential elector nominees in other states, according to the indictment.

On Dec. 13, 2020, Chesebro also sent an email to Giuliani outlining the “multiple strategies for disrupting and delaying the joint session of Congress on January 6, 2021,” according to the indictment.

Chesebro’s attorney, Scott Grubman, called the charges “unfounded” and said his client was never in Georgia on behalf of the campaign.

“Mr. Chesebro, an appellate and constitutional lawyer with experience in election law disputes, was asked by the Trump Campaign to provide advice on issues related to constitutional and election law,” Grubman said in a statement to ABC News. “Each of the alleged ‘overt acts’ that are attributed to Mr. Chesebro relate to his work as an attorney.”

6. Jeffrey Clark (2 counts)

One count of violation of the Georgia RICO Act; one count of criminal attempt to commit false statements and writings

The indictment alleges that Jeffrey Clark, a U.S. Justice Department official in the Trump administration, made false statements to senior DOJ officials “urging the officials to let him convey the false information to Georgia State Officials.”

Clark wanted to be able to say that the Department of Justice “identified significant concerns that may have impacted the outcome of the election in multiple states, including the State of Georgia,” according to the indictment.

Clark requested authorization, both in writing and in person, to send this incorrect information to Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, Speaker of the Georgia House of Representatives David Ralston, and President Pro Tempore of the Georgia Senate Butch Mille, according to the indictment.

Clark said the indictment’s legal theories “either make no sense or are inherently unconstitutional.”

“I think the indictment’s drafter is used to putting a million things into a blender, spreading the jumble across scores of pages, and seeing if defendants beg for mercy,” Clark said on social media. “They have miscalculated. This case will eventually be dissected into a thousand pieces.”

7. Jenna Ellis (2 counts)

One count of violation of the Georgia RICO Act; one count of solicitation of violation of oath by public officer

Jenna Ellis, who was a legal adviser for Trump and his 2020 re-election campaign, was cited in the indictment for making “false statements concerning fraud” regarding the election in Georgia on Nov. 3, 2020. The indictment also names her among those allegedly involved in a scheme to solicit public officers to unlawfully appoint Georgia presidential electors.

Ellis responded to the indictment on social media, saying: “The Democrats and the Fulton County DA are criminalizing the practice of law. I am resolved to trust the Lord and I will simply continue to honor, praise, and serve Him. I deeply appreciate all of my friends who have reached out offering encouragement and support.”

8. Ray Smith III (12 counts)

One count of violation of the Georgia RICO Act; three counts of solicitation of violation of oath by public officer; two counts of false statements and writings; two counts of conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree; two counts of conspiracy to commit false statements and writings; one count of conspiracy to commit impersonating a public officer; one count of conspiracy to commit filing false documents

Among the acts, Roman instructed an individual associated with the Trump campaign to “distribute information related to the December 14, 2020 meetings of Trump presidential elector nominees in Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin to other individuals associated with the campaign,” the indictment alleges.

According to the indictment, Kutti went to Freeman’s house but wasn’t able to speak to her. She then spoke to Freeman’s neighbor, identifying herself as a crisis manager attempting to “help” Freeman, then placed a phone call to Freeman telling her that she was in danger and that she could “help” her, according to the indictment. She then spoke to Freeman for about one hour at a Cobb County police precinct, during which she told Freeman that “she needed protection and purported to offer her help,” according to the indictment.
