Ranking Member Morelle Statement on Fulton County Georgia Indictment of Former President Trump

August 15, 2023

Washington, D.C. — House Administration Committee Ranking Member Joe Morelle (D-N.Y.) released the following statement on the Fulton County Georgia indictment of former President Donald Trump for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. 

“Yet another grand jury comprised of everyday Americans has reviewed evidence, heard from witnesses, and found reason to charge former President Trump with attempting to overturn the 2020 election.

"This indictment focuses on the schemes, criminal conspiracies, and intimidation tactics the former president and his top advisors conducted in Georgia.

"Attempting to overturn the will of the voters is anti-American and an attack on the foundation of our democracy. Anyone – including the former president – involved in this plot should be fully held accountable. No one is above the law.”
