Former President Donald Trump was indicted for the fourth time this year on Aug. 14, this time as part of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’s probe into claims that he and others attempted to dispute the results of the 2020 election in the state of Georgia.

The 98-page indictment lists a total of 19 defendants—including President Trump—and 41 criminal counts in all; with charges varying from making and filing false statements to the solicitation of high-ranking Justice Department officials and state legislatures, conspiracy to defraud the state, and perjury.
