There are 18 in all, not counting Trump. Those who have turned themselves in include conservative attorney John Eastman and former Georgia Republican Party Chairman David Shafer, Fulton County inmate records show.
The indictment claims Eastman played a key role in the alleged plot to send a fake slate of electors to Congress, which the indictment says was intended to"disrupt and delay the joint session of Congress" on Jan. 6, 2021, in order to alter the outcome of the 2020 election.
Eastman, who has been charged with nine counts, had his bond set at $100,000, which included a $20,000 bond for violation of Georgia's RICO statute and $10,000 each for the other eight counts. Eastman said in a statement that he and his legal team plan to contest the charges and said he is confident he will be"fully vindicated."
"The State's assertions that Mr. Clark participated in a non-existent, multi-state criminal conspiracy are scurrilous," Clark's lawyers argued. They claimed his prosecution is a"naked attempt to destroy Clark" that will cost him millions of dollars in legal fees, harm his work in the conservative legal community and damage his reputation.
In a separate filing to the U.S. district court, Shafer said the indictment charges him with conduct that stems from his role as a Republican nominee as a presidential elector acting under the authority of the Constitution and federal law.
