What are the next steps in Trump’s criminal case in Georgia?

Al Jazeera  

The election interference indictment in the southeastern US state is the fourth case against the former US president. Former United States President Donald Trump has been indicted for his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election result in the state of Georgia, which current President Joe Biden won. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis began her investigation into the case shortly after the release of a recording on January 2, 2021, of Trump and Georgia’s top election official, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, in which Trump suggests Raffensperger should “find 11,780 votes” so he cold overtake Biden and win the state. The indictment delivered on Monday by Willis’s office states, “Trump and the other Defendants charged in this Indictment refused to accept that Trump lost, and they knowingly and wilfully joined a conspiracy to unlawfully change the outcome of the election in favour of Trump.” The 98-page indictment lists 19 defendants, including Trump, his White House chief-of-staff Mark Meadows, Trump lawyer and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and attorney John Eastman. The others are a federal indictment also over trying to overturn the 2020 election results; a federal classified documents case, in which Trump is accused of mishandling secret government files after he left office; and a New York case involving hush money paid to an adult film star.
