- Georgia‘s prosecutor Fani Willis seeks grand jury indictment.
- Trump faces Florida charges for election rigging and unauthorized access to confidential materials.
- Prosecution plans a 4-6 week trial, Smith’s office shares information.
Following confirmation from two witnesses that they appeared before an Atlanta grand jury, Georgia’s prosecutor Fani Willis is anticipated to ask for an indictment from the grand jury the following week.
If prosecuted in Georgia, it would be Trump’s second indictment stemming from his efforts to reverse Joe Biden’s 2020 victory and his fourth overall in less than five months.
Trump election investigation
Earlier this month, Trump was in charge of a multistate plot to rig the election. Trump has now been charged separately in Florida by Special Counsel Jack Smith with obstruction of justice and illegally keeping confidential materials after leaving office.
This April, Manhattan prosecutors also charged Trump with falsifying financial documents to hide payments to a porn actor who claimed to have had a sexual encounter with him years before.
Despite his legal issues, Trump continues to be the front-runner for the Republican presidential candidacy in 2024. A federal judge has been urged by US prosecutors to begin Trump‘s trial before January 2, 2024, due to suspected attempts to reverse his loss to Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election.
Trump has proposed a trial after the 2024 elections, which might enable him to prevent prosecution if elected again.
The majority of the case against Trump will be presented in court during a 4-6 week trial, according to the prosecution. Smith’s office is prepared to turn over most of the information it expects to use at trial during the discovery phase.
