In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital late Monday night, Trump said, “Nineteen people have been indicted, and all over the world, people are realizing that the state of the United States has become corrupt and finding fault with it. Crooked Joe Biden’s leadership is an undesirable place to be.”
Trump, his former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, former attorneys Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, Jenna Ellis, Kenneth Chesebro, Jeff Clarke, John Eastman, and others have been indicted, along with more than a dozen others.
The charges include various counts of violating the Georgia RICO Act (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act), soliciting to violate the oath of office of a public official, conspiracy to impersonate a public official, and conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree. , conspiracy to commit false statements and writings, filing false documents, filing false documents and soliciting a violation of the oath of office of a public official. It is important to note that all face the same charges.
He criticized Fulton County District Attorney Fanny Willis as “racist and corrupt.” He aims to profit from fundraising efforts based on what he sees as a key campaign promise to follow him, as Fulton County, which has become a hotspot for homicides and exhibits high rates of violent crime.
Trump has expressed his belief that the situation is an ongoing example of the longest and most significant witch hunt in American history. He referred to the allegation as politically motivated, adding that it could have been brought forward almost three years ago. Instead, he allegedly timed it strategically in line with his current political campaign, where he is leading all Republicans by a significant margin and is outpacing Joe Biden in most polls.
Trump has been sharply critical of Willis, insisting it would be beyond comprehension to allow a man with such a track record of failures to disrupt what he sees as one of the most crucial elections in the country’s history.
“Just as she allowed Atlanta to decay with its crime and violence, Joe Biden has led America down the same path, with countless people pouring into our borders, inflation, a struggling economy, energy shortages, and diminishing global prestige.” He mentioned.
Trump insisted that Willis should focus his attention on allegations that he rigged the 2020 presidential election, rather than targeting those seeking answers about the election’s integrity.
It is noteworthy that Trump is the first former president to face criminal charges in American history. He faced criminal charges from special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into the January 6, 2021, Capitol riots earlier this month. In response, he pleaded not guilty to all counts of conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct official process, obstruction of official process, and conspiracy against rights.
In June, Trump was indicted as part of an investigation into Smith’s mishandling of classified records from his presidency.
Last month, Trump faced three additional charges following an amended indictment stemming from the same investigation.
In April, Trump entered a not-guilty plea to 34 counts in New York from the trial by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. The charges related to the alleged falsification of business records linked to hush-money payments made during the 2016 campaign.
Willis gave Trump and 18 other defendants until Aug. 25 to surrender. At a press conference Monday night, Willis expressed his desire to open the trial within the next six months. This time frame will hold the trial in February 2024, coinciding with the intensity of the GOP presidential primaries.
