Former US President Donald Trump has been charged with attempting to overturn his 2020 election defeat in the state of Georgia.
It is the fourth criminal case brought against him in five months.
Mr Trump, who is the leading Republican candidate for president in 2024, was indicted along with 18 other allies.
He denies all 13 charges against him, which include racketeering and election meddling. He has said they are politically motivated.
Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis first launched an investigation in February 2021 into allegations of election meddling against Mr Trump and his associates.
In a 98-page indictment made public late on Monday, prosecutors listed 41 charges against the 19 defendants.
Ms Willis announced she was giving defendants the opportunity to voluntarily surrender no later than noon on Friday 25 August. She said she plans to try all 19 accused together.
The indictment says the defendants “knowingly and willfully joined a conspiracy to unlawfully change the outcome of the election in favour of Trump”.
