for the 4th time. a grand jury has indicted former president donald trump, for alleged crimes against the country. he governs, leading the series of indictments against trump and others racketeering. a charge that usually targets organized crime rings. in this case, for an alleged conspiracy to steal the states presidential election, the indictment alleges that rather than by abide by georgia legal process for election challenges. the defendants engage in a criminal record ceiling enterprise to overturn george's presidential election. results also indicted. 18 others including former white house chief of staff, more commit, trump lawyer, rudolph giuliani, former justice department official, jeffery clark, and former aid. john eastman. the alleged conspiracy included a series of phone calls in which trump pressure georgia officials to overturn jo
8:03 pm
biden's presidential election victory in the state. including this notorious called the secretary of state brad reference berger. i just want to find a $11780.00 loads, which is one more that we have because we want to say that alleged conspiracy also included false accusations and harassment of election workers including ruby freeman, who said she had to go into hiding after trump, fans invaded her grandmother's home to make what they called the citizens arrest. it also contained false allegations for ballot for on and this was an election that we want to easily. we want to buy a lot. village plot also contained a sick electricity in which trump back the electors tried to form a false slate of electors who sought to flip the state of georgia for trump after his loss. and it involved in extraordinary data breach, and really coffee county were trump partisans were called in. this stands, i would say, in
8:04 pm
a fruitless search for massive fraud. georgia was just one of several states trunk would've needed to win to win the 2020 election with georgia was a special case. it tended to lean republican and he lost by a small margin. a margin. he asked georgia state republicans to make up to overturn his loss there. the trump campaign issued a link, the statement stating in part they could have brought this 2 and a half years ago. and they chose to do this for election interference reasons. in the middle of president trump's successful campaign, the indictment is the 4th in as many months truck faces date charges in new york for a hush money payment to silence a porn star ahead of the 2016 electric and to federal indictments in florida for miss handling classified documents and in washington for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. unlike the federal judges, if proved the georgia state charges cannot be pardoned by the next president,
8:05 pm
john henry l. g 0, atlanta. and john is joining us live from outside. the co house in atlanta were also head reaction now from trump's form and the way of rudy giuliani john, who very interesting. they pioneered the racketeering app that is being used against them now. as right and giuliani is saying that doesn't apply here. he says in a statement, this is an effort. this isn't a fund to american democracy and does permanent irrevocable harm to our justice system. he says it's just the next chapter in a book of lies with the purpose of framing president donald trump, and anyone willing to take on the ruling regime. now that drives with donald trump, the response where he says on monday, he's going to lay out why there really was fraud in georgia. and that may be part of his legal strategy to just arguing that he wasn't trying to do anything illegal . he really believed he had won the election. the problem is,
8:06 pm
there is evidence we know from the federal indictment against trump, that there were a number of people around him. literally. every one he asked who was a lawyer who had any legal standing said, you didn't win the election. there is no fraud. you have no reason to believe that this election should be overturn. and he was told that repeatedly, we're going to hear more about that in the federal indictment against him, probably also in this georgia indictment. but that has been the trunk strategy. i lost this was illegitimate. um, but the according to the allegations against him here in georgia, and this was really a conspiracy by no team people. it goes all the way up to the president himself to the white house, chief of staff, mark mentos, to rudolph giuliani, was a personal lawyer for the president of the john was going around the country state . the state, arguing the trumpet lost the election. and if those charges stick, those are very serious because they come with
8:07 pm
a penalty of 5 to 20 years in prison. every person involved here is faced with those charges charges. and one of the goals there for prosecutors is to get people to flip to testify against the trump and some of the others in order to get those charges removed. they might not get all the charges removed, but they will want that one removed because it is the one that is listed as a serious felony. all the others, including forgery, lying on public documents, making public statements that were false. all of those are felonies, but come with far less true penalties. so for trump here, the stakes are high. they're also high for the other 18 people who are indicted. serious an extensive charges show on this. these cases can take a long time because of how extensive they are. so what happens next in this case? you right. well next there are everybody has until friday, the 25th at noon to come and turn themselves in and be arranged. that is to be
8:08 pm
asked by the judge or the guilty or not guilty, and then trial dates are, are set. the issue here is it this particular prosecutor? once all of those connected, so that would be 19 defendants standing in the dock. all at the same time, headed by donald trump, facing the same raft of $41.00 charges. some of them face more of those charges and some of them face fewer. but all of them face that racketeering charge that is so central to this case. what does that mean? it means that a really complicated case, we could take long any one of those defendants could seek a delay for one reason or another. and that could delay this beyond the 2024 election. we just don't think donald trump very much wants to do that. there's another thing here that is important to note, and that is that georgia has a speedy trial clause. and that means any one of those defendants can ask for a speedy trial that's about 2 months or 70 days. and that may complicate matters on the other side of things. so we don't really know how long this is gonna take. but
8:09 pm
generally, the more complex the cases, the longer it takes, and that's why in the federal indictments, we saw it was a slim down case. just charging donald trump with an effort to get that case going before the election. this one, nobody really knows how long it get to. yes. so many factors and this is only one case, joan. thank you very much for that. john. 100 live in atlanta. as to why the news now and at least 35 people have been killed in an explosion at a petrol station in southern russia. children romano, the engine and the bloss. indeed, the stall region, some of the critically wounded having flown to hospital must go. usually a shop, a valuable as follow him. developments from moscow. the local authorities, according to the last and the mattress, the situation according to russia's ministry of health. certified people can some data including 3 children and more than a 100 injured. most of the injured have been taken to
