Trump has denied any wrongdoing, and he has accused Willis of "election interference" by proceeding with the probe while he's running for president.

Remember in school when you learned that candidates for president were above the law?

Explicit details havent been released yet, but NBC News is indicating there were a total of 10 indictments!

EDIT: The press release has been updated with the following information:

The sweeping 41-count indictment also names lawyers John Eastman, Sidney Powell, Kenneth Chesebro, Jenna Ellis and Ray Smith and several others. All were charged with violating Georgia's RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization) act.

Lots of the charges seem very open and shut. The forgery stuff, the breaking into the system, grilling the election worker etc.

They're definitely going to nail a lot of these charges on a lot of these people.

I'm curious to see what they get Mark Meadows with. He always seemed like he was too smart to get his nose dirty.
