Using a law traditionally used to indict mob bosses and gang leaders, Fulton County District Attorney Fani T. Willis alleges that Donald Trump and 18 others participated in a criminal conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia.
“She's using a statute in Georgia called the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, which mirrors a federal law that was originally written to go after the mafia in New York City,” Washington Post national political correspondent Amy Gardner said. “And so basically what she's doing is accusing the former president, Donald Trump, of being the head of a criminal enterprise whose purpose was to steal the 2020 election.
Gardner joins Post Reports today to explain what makes Trump’s latest indictment unique, and the bar the district attorney will need to clear to secure a conviction.
