Former President Donald J. Trump and 18 others have been indicted by a grand jury in Georgia as part of a sprawling racketeering case.
Trump and his codefendants are accused of orchestrating a “criminal enterprise” to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia. Trump’s former personal lawyer, Rudolph W. Giuliani, and Mark Meadows, who served as White House chief of staff at the time of the election, are also included in the indictment.
During a recent episode of Giuliani’s show “America’s Mayor Live,” the attorney opened up about the indictment.
“As you see, I’m very nervous and sweating and upset, whether I’m going to be indicted. It does trouble me greatly because I value my reputation beyond anything. I find that what they’ve done here is reprehensible. And I feel it’s reprehensible with regard to me, my family, my career, and what I’ve done in my life,” he declared.
The 41-count indictment is the fourth criminal case that Trump faces, including 13 charges against the Republican frontrunner. He now faces 91 charges in four criminal cases in four different jurisdictions — two federal and two state cases.
Following the indictment, Trump took to his Truth Social platform to criticize Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, the first Black woman to serve in the position.
“So, the Witch Hunt continues! 19 people indicated tonight, including the former President of the United States, me, by an out of control and very corrupt District Attorney,” he wrote.
Trump even went as far as to accuse Willis of racism.
“They say there’s a young woman, a young racist in Atlanta. She’s a racist. And they say, I guess they say that she was after a certain gang and she ended up having an affair with the head of the gang or a gang member,” Trump said in his remarks. “And this is the person that wants to indict me. She’s got a lot of problems.”
There is no evidence that Willis had “an affair” with a “gang member” she was investigating.
