President Donald Trump has issued a fiery response to the indictments against himself and several of his allies by Democrat Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
In an interview with Fox News, Trump blasted the fourth indictment against him to emerge, from another career Democrat prosecutor, as a “dark period for our country.”
Nevertheless, despite the unprecedented adversity, Trump vowed to right the wrongs and “Make America Great Again” by winning the 2024 presidential election.
The latest get-Trump indictment came Monday night.
This fourth indictment emerged from the Georgia probe into alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
“Nineteen people were indicted,” Trump said.
“The whole world is laughing at the United States as they see how corrupt and horrible a place it has turned out to be under the leadership of Crooked Joe Biden.”
Trump and more than a dozen others were charged.
Those charged include Trump’s former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, and his former attorneys Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, Jenna Ellis, Kenneth Chesebro, Jeff Clark, and John Eastman, among others.
The charges include violating the Georgia RICO Act—the Racketeer Influenced And Corrupt Organizations Act; Solicitation of Violation of Oath by a Public Officer; Conspiracy to Commit Impersonating a Public Officer; Conspiracy to Commit Forgery in the First Degree; Conspiracy to Commit False Statements and Writings; Conspiracy to Commit Filing False Documents; Conspiracy to Commit Forgery in the First Degree; Filing False Documents; and Solicitation of Violation of Oath by a Public Officer.
Not everyone faces the same charges, however.
“The racist and corrupt district attorney of Fulton County, which has turned out to be a murder capital of the world with among the highest violent crime levels anywhere in our country, just opened a fundraising site in order to benefit off the things she most campaigned on, ‘I will get Donald Trump,’” Trump said, slamming Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
Trump told Fox News that this “is a continuation of the greatest and longest-running Witch Hunt in American history.”
“This politically-inspired indictment, which could have been brought close to three years ago, was tailored for placement right smack in the middle of my political campaign, where I am leading all Republicans—by a lot—and beating Joe Biden soundly in almost all polls,” he said.
Trump blasted Willis, saying that it is “not even conceivable that a person with such a record of failure could be allowed to interrupt perhaps the most important election in the history of our country.
“Just like she has allowed Atlanta to go to hell with all of its crime and violence, so too has Joe Biden allowed the United States of America to go to the same place with millions of people invading our country, inflation, bad economy, no energy, and lack of respect all over the world,” he said.
Trump said that Willis “should focus on the people that rigged the 2020 presidential election, not those who demand an answer as to what happened.”
Trump is the first former president in U.S. history to face criminal charges.
Earlier this month, he was indicted out of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into the Capitol protests on Jan. 6, 2021, as Slay News reported.
Trump pleaded not guilty to all charges–conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.
Smith also charged Trump in June in his investigation into his alleged improper retention of classified records from his presidency.
Last month, Trump was charged with an additional three counts as part of a superseding indictment out of that probe.
And in April, Trump pleaded not guilty to 34 counts in New York in April stemming from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s investigation.
Trump is accused of falsifying business records related to hush-money payments made during the 2016 campaign.
DA Willis gave Trump and the 18 other defendants until August 25 to surrender.
During a Monday night press conference, Willis said she would like a trial to take place within six months, which would be by February 2024.
Conveniently, the trial would come right as the GOP presidential primaries are ramping up.
