A furious former President Donald Trump promises to release ‘irrefutable’ evidence of the ‘Georgia ‘election fraud’ that should see all charges ‘dropped’ against him and his 18 co-accused after fourth indictment.
Trump was indicted for the fourth time Monday in Georgia for his alleged role in trying to overturn the 2020 election by running a ‘criminal organization.’
The president announced on his Truth Social platform that he will hold a news conference at his Bedminster, New Jersey, home next week following his expected first appearance Friday in Georgia.
‘Patriot, Justice and the rule of law are officially DEAD in America,’ the campaign continued in the email to supporters.
Fani Willis, the district attorney for Fulton County, Georgia, secured the 41-count indictment from a grand jury on Monday, and told a press conference the indictment alleged ‘violations of Georgia law arising from a criminal conspiracy to overturn the results of the election in this state.’
The fundraising email sent early Tuesday morning goes on to slam Willis.
‘A left-wing prosecutor – with such extreme anti-Trump bias that EVEN CNN questioned her legitimacy – has INDICTED me despite having committed NO CRIME.
‘This marks the FOURTH ACT of Election Interference on behalf of the Democrats in an attempt to keep the White House under Crooked Joe’s control and JAIL his single greatest opponent of the 2024 election.
‘Let me remind you that just days before I announced my 2024 presidential campaign, Crooked Joe declared on national TV that serious efforts would be taken to stop me from being able to ‘take power’ again.’
The case – relying on laws typically used to bring down mobsters – is the fourth targeting the 77-year-old Republican this year and could lead to a watershed moment, the first televised trial of a former president in U.S. history.
