Former President Donald Trump mentioned the potential of a fourth indictment against him during a recent rally. He stated, “I should have four [indictments] by sometime next week,” highlighting the continuous legal challenges he faces.
Currently, Trump is contending with three distinct indictments over alleged hush money payments, management of classified documents, and endeavors to contest the results of the 2020 US presidential election.
Recent reports from US media suggest that prosecutors in Georgia are considering further charges tied to Trump’s post-election activities in 2020. This is based on the accounts of two grand jury witnesses who received subpoenas. While they haven’t been directed to appear imminently, this might imply the grand jury may only review the case next week.
Although there have been discussions about potential racketeering charges in the Georgia election interference case, the exact nature of the charges remains unconfirmed by prosecutors.
Earlier in August, Fani Willis, the district attorney of Fulton County, Georgia, indicated the possibility of seeking a grand jury indictment against Trump. Her investigation centers around Trump’s alleged attempts to remain in power following the 2020 US election.
Trump has denounced the charges against him as part of the weaponization of the US justice system against him ahead of the 2024 US presidential election, for which he is seeking the Republican Party nomination. He currently leads in primary polls despite the unresolved legal battles.
