On August 14, a grand jury in Fulton County, Georgia, unveiled a criminal indictment against former President Donald Trump and 18 co-conspirators for their efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in that state. Among the 41 counts in the indictment are charges that Trump and his allies made false statements about election fraud to solicit illegal actions from members of the Georgia legislature and election officials. Many of these false statements were later parroted by right-wing media outlets. According to the indictment, “The purpose of these false statements was to persuade Georgia legislators to reject” the state’s lawful slate of electors who voted for the winner, Joe Biden, in the Electoral College, and to “corruptly” solicit state election officials to violate their oaths “by unlawfully changing the outcome” of the election in favor of Trump. Right-wing media aided the Trump team in spreading several of the same falsehoods and conspiracy theories that the indictment charges the former president and his allies used in attempting to overthrow the election results in Georgia, including: False accusations about widespread election fraud in Georgia False accusations that Ruby Freeman or Shaye Moss committed election fraud False accusations about fraud in other states
