Donald Trump indictment - latest news
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has proposed a date of March 2024 for Donald Trump’s trial over efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election in the state of Georgia.
The proposed date is one day before Super Tuesday – when fourteen states and American Samoa will hold their elections for the Republican nomination.
The former president and 18 of his allies were indicted on Monday for running a criminal enterprise to try to thwart the will of the American people and keep Mr Trump in power at all costs. They have been ordered to surrender for arrest by 25 August.
In response, Mr Trump has promised to share an “irrefutable” report on his baseless claims of election fraud at a press conference on Monday morning.
In another rant, he also used a racist dog whistle – “RIGGERS” – while discussing Black litigators and political opponents.
It comes as a new video aired by MSNBC allegedly shows Roger Stone working to overturn the presidential election.
Meanwhile, Texas woman Abigail Jo Shry has been arrested for allegedly threatening to kill Tanya Chutkan, the federal judge overseeing the January 6 criminal case against Mr Trump.
