BREAKING: Donald Trump and several associates have been indicted in Georgia over efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss in the state. It is the latest criminal case to be brought against the former U.S. president in a matter of months.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below.
But neither the judge nor county officials revealed any details about the documents — though at least some of the indictments appeared to be for cases other than Trump. Even so, all signs pointed toward the grand jury moving toward an indictment in the Trump investigation: The panel worked late, some witnesses scheduled to appear Tuesday testified instead on Monday and the judge who’s been handling the matter, Robert McBurney, encouraged reporters to stay late.
Reuters, which later published a copy of the document, said the filing was taken down quickly. A spokesperson for Fulton Countysaid the report of charges being filed was “inaccurate,” but declined to comment further on a kerfuffle that the Trump legal team rapidly jumped on to attack the integrity of the investigation.
Trump and his allies, who have characterized the investigation as politically motivated, immediately seized on the apparent error to claim the process was rigged. Trump’s campaign aimed to fundraise off it, sending out an email with the since-deleted document embedded.
