The Trial against Donald Trump for the attempt to undermine the results of the election in Georgia is transmitted Live on YouTube. Judge Scott McAfee ruled it. It is not yet clear when the trial against the former president will begin. The public prosecutor responsible for the investigation, Fani Willis, had expressed her intention to bring all 19 defendants to trial together. However, some of the defendants, such as former Trump campaign lawyers Kenneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell, have requested an expedited trial.
The accusations However, there will be neither a second arrest of Donald Trump nor a second mugshot in Georgia. In fact, the tycoon pleaded not guilty to the plot to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and decided not to appear before the judge on September 6, an option provided for in a state law. The former president and 18 other defendants are accused of multiple crimes, including conspiracy to violate the anti-crime law, solicitation of a public official to violate his oath, conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree and conspiracy to file false documents.
The mugshot gives Trump’s campaign a new boost Just a week ago, Trump appeared in court in Atlanta where he was arrested, identified as prisoner number PO1135809, immortalized in the now-iconic “mug shot” and released after posting $200,000 bail. Since then, Trump’s ratings have skyrocketed, the gap to the second Republican candidate, Ron DeSantis, has widened and the campaign has raised more than $7 million from sales of the mugshot gadgets.
The former president’s other legal problems However, as with the mugs, T-shirts and hats, the former president’s legal problems continue to mount. In fact, before trials on the four charges begin, the tycoon faces another trial in October over New York prosecutor Letitia James’ lawsuit that he inflated the value of his fortune to as much as $2.2 billion . The lawsuit, which the former president’s lawyers have asked to be dismissed, but which James says does not even require a trial to resolve because, he claims, there is no doubt that Trump and members of his family lied to obtain more favorable terms received for loans and financing.
