On Monday, he was indicted for the fourth time by a grand jury in Georgia on charges related to his attempt to overturn the 2020 election results.
DA Fani Willis issued a 41-count indictment accusing Trump and 18 of his countrymen of RICO violations and a list of other charges that run the gamut of election interference.
She said the indictment alleged “violations of Georgian law resulting from a criminal conspiracy to nullify the results of elections in that state.”
Trump called her an “out of control and very corrupt district attorney” and said the charges were part of a “witch hunt.”
The case – based on laws typically used to bring down gangsters – is the fourth to target the 77-year-old Republican this year and could lead to a watershed moment, the first televised trial of a former president in state history. -United.
If convicted on all counts, he faces 71 years in prison — and state charges, unlike federal, cannot be pardoned by a president.
Trump called Willis a “rabid supporter,” but on Monday night she told a press conference, “I make decisions in this office based on the facts and the law. The law is non-partisan.
“We look at the facts, we look at the law and we make accusations.”

In a recent biography on Carlson, the TV host allegedly revealed that Trump was eyeing the ‘beer girls’ at his golf resort in Bedminster, New Jersey, in a photo that went viral of the two of them alongside Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Carlson was asked about this image by his biographer Chadwick Moore, for the book, Tuckerreleased August 1.
The trio were captured watching the LIV Golf Bedminster invite last July, with Carlson clearly laughing at something the former chairman said.
“He was talking about the beer girls,” Carlson recalled. “Look at those beer girls? Can you believe they have legs like that? You can’t make legs like that, it’s genetics! The human genome explains this,’ the former Fox News host said, quoting Trump. Carlson found the comment hilarious.

That’s what he said, and I love it. You are telling me something that amuses me enormously. Because it’s rooted in truth and it’s unexpected. I’m the perfect audience for that,” Carlson said.
The TV host who now hosts a Twitter show noted it was his first time taking part in a golf tournament – he doesn’t play the sport because ‘I’m left-handed and have no coordination’ .
The book, simply titled Tucker, is written by journalist Chadwick Moore who spent 1,000 hours interviewing Carlson at his homes in Maine and Florida.
“But, as I said, Trump feels a moral obligation to entertain the people of his world. He’s the patriarch and everyone in his orbit should be entertained by him,’ Carlson continued. “And I agree that it is absolutely an obligation for the chief, and people who do not respect it fall at work.”
In response to some of the negative comments Carlson allegedly made about Trump, which came to light following Fox News’ lawsuit against Dominion Voting Systems, he clarified his position:
‘Do I like Trump? I love Trump,’ Carlson told Moore during one of their meetings after the text messages were revealed. “But there are so many levels to Trump. He was a totally ineffective president. He couldn’t manage my house. He’s not a manager, and it’s very frustrating to watch.
Carlson partly blamed people hired by Trump.
“So it was very frustrating to watch, extremely frustrating, infuriating to see his declared program being overthrown by people who work for him. It was crazy. Like watching someone’s kids burn down their own house and there’s nothing they can do about it,” Carlson said.
“I really hated watching it and was crazy about it,” he continued to Moore.
That being said, Carlson described dinner with Trump as “one of the great joys of the world.”
“If you had to make a list of people to have dinner with, Trump would be number one,” Carlson said. ‘He is beyond belief. He’s a TV character. He was NBC’s number one star.
“So how do you get there? By being an incredibly fun, charming, dynamic person,” he continued. “Trump at this level is absolutely the best. So funny, so incredibly quirky and single-minded in a hilarious way. So nice too.
