Last night an Atlanta grand jury indicted former president Trump and 18 of his allies in the probe into efforts to flip Georgia's 2020 election results. Fulton County DA Fani Willis told reporters: "The indictment alleges that rather than abide by Georgia's legal process for election challenges, the defendants engaged in a criminal racketeering enterprise in order to overturn Georgia's presidential election result."

The big picture: This is the fourth indictment against Trump since April. Among those also charged are lawyers Rudy Giuliani and John Eastman and former white house chief of staff Mark Meadows.

Zoom has a lot of people worried this week over its use of customer data to train artificial intelligence. The company's CEO Eric Yuan said Zoom's March update to its terms of service — which started the backlash — was a mistake.

The push for electric vehicles to become more mainstream has gained serious momentum in recent years, with climate change, fluctuations in gas prices, and tax incentives. But the broader transition to EVs looks like it will be longer and bumpier than expected.

The big picture: General Motors announced on Tuesday it plans to equip all its electric cars and trucks with two-way charging technology, so the vehicles can supply backup power during blackouts. We take a deeper look at what companies are doing to adapt their EV plans for the future.

Ohio is holding a special election on Tuesday for voters to decide how easy it should be to amend the state constitution. It is the only item on the ballot and it's called Issue 1. Supporters of the proposal want to make it more difficult for an abortion rights amendment to pass in the state's general election in November.

The big picture: Issue 1 is getting national attention because of what it could mean for abortion rights in Ohio as well as its impact on special interests in that state and beyond.

Former President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty on Thursday to federal charges that he plotted to overturn the 2020 elections. Trump is the GOP presidential frontrunner and has been indicted three times since launching his 2024 campaign. The former president is spending big on legal fees and that's one reason he's burning campaign cash fast.

The big picture: Trump isn't the only one blowing through money. Other Republican candidates have an even higher so-called "burn rate." We take a closer look at the numbers and why they matter for this phase of the campaign.
