Racketeering Charges Being Prepared Against Trump in Georgia: Report
A report published on Friday spells a new round of legal trouble for former President Donald Trump. According to The Guardian, prosecutors in Fulton County, Ga., are preparing to charge Trump under racketeering statutes.
“The Fulton county district attorney investigating Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in the state of Georgia has developed evidence to charge a sprawling racketeering indictment next month, according to two people briefed on the matter,” the outlet reported.
“The racketeering statute in Georgia requires prosecutors to show the existence of an ‘enterprise’ – and a pattern of racketeering activity that is predicated on at least two ‘qualifying’ crimes,” the report continued.
“In the Trump investigation, the Fulton county district attorney, Fani Willis, has evidence to pursue a racketeering indictment predicated on statutes related to influencing witnesses and computer trespass, the people said,” the outlet noted further.
Earlier, Willis had mentioned that she was considering racketeering charges in her ongoing criminal investigation. Fresh information has now emerged, the report said, shedding light on the specific direction and extent of the case.
The development comes as prosecutors gear up to pursue other indictments during the first two weeks in August.
