Donald Trump attacked the Georgia prosecutor set to issue him with his fourth indictment of the year at a rally in New Hampshire on Tuesday night, calling her a “a young racist” and claiming without evidence that she had an “affair” with a gang leader whose case she was involved with.
The former president took pot shots at Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis, who is investigating him for his conduct in her state during the 2020 presidential election, particularly his notorious phone call with local secretary of state Brad Raffensperger whom Mr Trump pressured to help him “find” the 11,780 votes he needed to overturn Joe Biden’s victory.
At the same event, Mr Trump also ramped up his attack on Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith and the January 6 indictment against him, calling it “bull****”.
“Every time you get indicted, I like to check the polls,” he said. “One more indictment and I think this election is over… No, it’s horrible. You get indicted for nothing.”
His speech in one of the early primary states comes ahead of the latest hearing in that case, set by Judge Tanya Chutkan for 10am EST on Friday 11 August.
