NPR
About this episode
The indictment alleges a sweeping scheme to overturn the state's election results. Unlike the federal charges brought by the special counsel Jack Smith, Trump — should he win reelection — would have no legal authority to pardon himself of any state-level convictions which could result from the latest charges.

This episode: political correspondent Susan Davis, national justice correspondent Carrie Johnson, and Georgia Public Broadcasting reporter Stephen Fowler.

The podcast is produced by Elena Moore and Casey Morell. Our editor is Eric McDaniel. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
