FOX LiveNOW: Trump Georgia Indictment: What You Need to Know - Analysis with Attorney Andrew Lieb

The Georgia indictment against former President Donald Trump, and his allies, has major implications. Here are the key takeaways from legal analyst Andrew Lieb's breakdown of the case in a recent interview on LiveNOW from FOX.

The indictment alleges a "criminal organization" involving Trump and 18 others related to election interference in Georgia. It includes 19 counts and 98 pages detailing Trump's attempts to overturn the election results in the state. The indictment claims Trump solicited state officials and legislators to change the election outcome.

If convicted, Trump and the others face a minimum sentence of 5 years in prison under Georgia's racketeering statute. Lieb said many of the defendants may turn on each other to avoid jail time.

The case has the potential to restore faith in the justice system because the Georgia court will allow cameras, giving the public a firsthand view of the proceedings. This will be different from other cases against Trump that do not allow cameras.
