Atlanta, Georgia prosecutors are considering charging Donald Trump with racketeering and conspiracy crimes in the investigation into his attempt to overturn the state’s 2020 presidential election result, which was crucial to Joe Biden’s victory. Investigators have amassed a large body of substantive evidence related to a possible conspiracy inside and outside the state, including records of phone calls, emails, text messages, documents and 75 testimonies — including those from some Trump advisers — before a special grand jury. CNN reports, citing a source familiar with the investigation, that investigators have developed a belief that support for Trump’s plan would not have come solely from a grassroots movement in the state.
The legal circle is therefore narrowing around Trump, who announced on his social network Truth on Saturday – without giving details – the impending arrest in another case, namely that of illegal payments to buy the silence of the porn star Stormy Daniels. “Let’s demonstrate, let’s take back the country,” the former president wrote, urging his supporters to take to the streets in a tone that reminded many of the tone used on January 6, 2021, the day of the attack the Congress, was used. New York prosecutors have not confirmed or leaked any information, although Trump’s indictment does seem close: The arrest is unlikely to arrive within 24 hours because the grand jury has yet to hear a witness. However, if an arrest warrant is issued, one of his attorneys, Joe Tacopina, has indicated Trump will follow normal procedures and appear in court in New York, where authorities are organizing to deal with any unrest.
