Former US President Donald Trump was criminally charged this week in a sweeping Georgia indictment that accuses him of being the head of a "criminal enterprise" to overturn the 2020 election.

The indictment from Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis included 18 defendants in addition to Trump, 41 charges in total and 30 unindicted co-conspirators.

It is now the fourth criminal case that Trump is facing. 

Earlier this month, he was indicted by a federal grand jury in special counsel Jack Smith's investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election leading up to the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol. In June, a federal grand jury in Florida charged Trump in Smith's classified documents probe, and in March, a Manhattan grand jury indicted the former president on business fraud charges related to a hush money payment to an adult film star. Trump has pleaded not guilty in all of those cases.

Trump, who is running for president in 2024, has repeatedly denied wrongdoing and accused Democrats of targeting him politically.

Here are some of the stories that made headlines over the past week, as well as some photos that caught our eye.
