The indictment charges three participants in the so-called fake electors scheme in Georgia with impersonating a public officer, first-degree forgery, false statements and writings, criminal attempt to commit filing false documents and other offenses.

David Shafer, Shawn Micah Tresher Still and Cathleen Alston Latham, along with multiple unnamed unindicted co-conspirators, "unlawfully falsely held themselves out as the duly elected and qualified presidential electors from the State of Georgia," according to the indictment. The three named defendants are among the 16 Georgians who were false electors for Trump in Georgia in 2020.

At least eight of Georgia's fake electors were granted immunity earlier in the probe and agreed to interviews with prosecutors, according to a May court filing.

Trump, Giuliani, Eastman and others were charged with multiple counts of conspiracy in relation to the Georgia scheme, as well. Those counts include first-degree conspiracy to commit forgery, conspiracy to commit impersonating a public officer and conspiracy to commit false statements and writings.

In an interview this morning on Fox News, Trump lawyer Alina Habba was asked whether she agreed with a New York Post op-ed that called the Georgia indictment a "perilous threat to former President Trump." She replied that the team's members disagreed with the assessment because they "have inside information."

Pressed by the Fox News interviewer, Steve Doocy, about what that information was, Habba refused to provide specifics, saying, "This is something I'm not going to breach."

The lawyer for David Shafer, one of the so-called fake electors and a former Georgia GOP chair, said Shafer is “totally innocent of the charges filed against him” yesterday in Fulton County Superior Court.

“His conduct regarding the 2020 Presidential election was lawful, appropriate and specifically authorized by the U.S. Constitution, federal and state law and long standing legal precedent,” Craig A. Gillan, Shafer’s lawyer, said in a statement.

“The law firms of Gillen & Lake LLC and Pierson Law LLC will vigorously defend Mr. Shafer against these unfounded allegations,” he added.

A focus of Trump’s fourth indictment includes the so-called fake electors — people who signed a certificate falsely declaring that Trump won Georgia in the 2020 election and that they were the state’s official electors. Some of them struck immunity deals with Willis’ office in recent months, court filings show.

Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., suggested todaythat the charges in Fulton County are more consequential than they needed to be for the alleged crimes committed in the efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

In an interview on MSNBC, Buck said the federal indictments against Trump from the special counsel's office could have been a RICO indictment, but, he said, "they didn’t choose to go the RICO route. And I think properly so."

"RICO was meant to cover Mafia cases. It was meant to cover international drug organizations," Buck continued. "This charge is really a nuclear bomb where a bullet would have been appropriate, and I think the scope of this charge is really something that should have been done at the federal level if it was going to be done at all."

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp is standing by his refusal to go along with Trump’s false claims of election fraud in the battleground state.

In a tweet including a screenshot of Trump’s announcement of a coming report that he said will prove election fraud in the state, Kemp wrote: “The 2020 election in Georgia was not stolen.”

Weeks after the 2020 election, Kemp’s office confirmed that Trump called him and tried to pressure him to order a special session of the Legislature to overturn Biden’s narrow victory in Georgia.

Kemp, a Republican, testified last year before the special grand jury in Willis’ investigation into whether Trump and his allies engaged in election interference in Georgia. 

Kemp’s office also confirmed last month that special counsel Jack Smith’s office contacted him as it investigates efforts by Trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 election results.

The attorney for Kenneth Chesebro, an attorney indicted in Fulton County who was accused of pushing the "fake electors" scheme, said the charges against Chesebro are "unfounded."

"Mr. Chesebro, an appellate and constitutional lawyer with experience in election law disputes, was asked by the Trump Campaign to provide advice on issues related to constitutional and election law," said Scott Grubman, Chesebro's lawyer.

"Each of the alleged 'overt acts' that are attributed to Mr. Chesebro relate to his work as an attorney," Grubman said. "Mr. Chesebro did not once step foot in the State of Georgia on behalf of the campaign, and was not privy to the private communications of other individuals that are cited in the indictment. Mr. Chesebro stands ready to defend himself against these unfounded charges."

Asked in in a Fox News appearance this morning about Trump’s fourth indictment, Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie said, “I'm uncomfortable with what I read last night.”

“I think that this conflict is essentially covered by the federal indictment, not with the level of detail that they covered in this, but that’s just a stylistic thing,” said Christie, a former prosecutor and governor of New Jersey.

“Election interference is election interference. It’s been charged by Jack Smith, and most of the time what you’d see here would be a state court deferring to a federal prosecution, especially if that federal indictment had already been issued,” he said. “So I think this was unnecessary.”

Christie, a former Trump ally, has emerged as a vocal critic after he broke with Trump’s unfounded claims of election fraud and refusal to concede the 2020 election.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., one of Trump’s top defenders on Capitol Hill, urged the public to not show up to the Fulton County Courthouse in a tweet.

Greene, a far-right lawmaker, has boosted Trump's baseless claims of widespread election fraud in the 2020 election. She became the first lawmaker to be ousted from the House Freedom Caucus last month over a dust-up with a GOP colleague and her alignment with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on his leadership bid and his debt ceiling deal with President Joe Biden.
