rivera >> i'm jessica layton. a sweeping 41-count criminal indictment, what a fulton county grand jury brought against former president trump and 18 of his allies monday night, all in connection with efforts to overturn the 2020 election in georgia. these charges came following a major, two-year investigation by fulton county district attorney fani willis which involved the testimony of 75 witnesses. it is the fourth indictment brought against the former president this year and saddles him with 13 new counts >> we go to chris pollone in washington good morning, take us through the charges and the defendants in this lengthy indictment >> reporter: we originally thought that voting on these indictments could take place by that fulton county grand jury today, but instead, d.a. fani willis held a marathon session yesterday that lasted late into the night and culminated in this

98-page indictment among those charged, 19 people, former president donald trump, along with his personal attorney, rudy giuliani and his former chief of staff mark meadows, also charged some attorneys who devised legal theories the indictment says would help the former president overturn the state's election results. willis launched the two-year investigation shortly after audio leaked from a phone call between the former president and former secretary of state in which he appeared to be pressuring officials to help him overturn the election. >> the indictment alleges that rather than abide by georgia's legal process for election challenges the defendants engaged in a criminal racketeering enterprise to overturn georgia's presidential election results >> reporter: and the former president has maintained his innocence throughout this entire matter he posted on his social media

overseeing one of the former president's other cases is rejecting calls for his recusal. judge marchand, who is presiding over the hush money case in new york refused to give the case to another judge. trump's legal team had been seeking his recusal since june, arguing that he has significant conflict conflicts evident of a preconceived bias against the former president he expressed his certainty to be fair and impartial trump pleaded not guilty in april to 34 counts of falsifying business records this trial is set to begin next march. let's turn to the recovery effort in hawaii at least 99 people hav9 peobeen confirmed dead so victims' names will be released today. anger is spreading mul multiple reviews are being launched to look into the island's preparedness.
