According to a report from The New York Post, Atlanta prosecutors appeared to have accidentally posted —then removed —a list of charges related to former President Donald Trump.
From The New York Post:
A two-page docket obtained by Reuters that was briefly posted and then removed from the Fulton County court’s website showed the 77-year-old potentially facing 13 counts — including violation of the Peach State’s anti-racketeering law, conspiracy, false statements and asking a public official to violate their oath of office.
A grand jury convened by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is scheduled to hear testimony Monday and Tuesday, with an announcement on charges against Trump and his allies expected soon after.
A rep for the DA’s office denied to Reuters that any indictment had been handed up, but did not dispute that the document had been filed accidentally. The office did not immediately return a request for comment from The Post.
Among the witnesses who testified Monday were two former Democratic state lawmakers who took part in a December 2020 hearing at which Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani claimed widespread election fraud had cost his client re-election.
