Fourth Trump indictment - Youth win climate trial - Affirmative action workarounds

Source: The Conversation

1. Summary
   Former President Donald Trump received an unprecedented fourth indictment late Monday, the result of a two-year investigation by Fulton County, Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis. Willis launched the investigation after Trump's January 2021 phone call with Georgia's secretary of state, in which Trump said "I just want to find 11,780 votes" after losing the state.
   
   The grand jury returned 10 indictments against 19 people. Trump is charged with racketeering, which could result in a five to 20-year prison sentence. Prosecutors will have to prove the existence of a racketeering "enterprise" and a pattern of racketeering based on two qualifying crimes.
   
   Possible charges against Trump were published on the court's website Monday and then removed, before the Grand Jury returned its verdict, which Trump's campaign said was evidence that "the District Attorney has already decided how this case will end." The campaign also called the indictment election interference, saying "They could have brought this two and half years ago."
