A Supreme Court Correspondent with Reuters is reporting that the state of Georgia has filed legal charges against Trump.
He says those charges include violation of the state’s RICO act:
Some other accounts are reporting that Trump is also being charged with conspiracy to commit forgery and solicitation of violation of oath by public officer.
UPDATE: John Kruzel has just deleted his tweets. He added this on his timeline:
He didn’t delete because it wasn’t accurate. He deleted it because he’s started a fury online, and perhaps prematurely.
UPDATE 2: Reuters tweeted this a very few minutes ago and they haven’t deleted it:
“The U.S. state of Georgia appears set to charge Donald Trump with a variety of charges, including racketeering, conspiracy and false statements, according to a two-page docket report posted to the Fulton County court’s website.
The Fulton County clerk’s office could not immediately be reached for comment on the docket report, which is no longer available on the court’s website.
Representatives for the county could not be immediately reached for comment.”
UPDATE 3: Another Reuters reporter is saying the DA’s office says this is not accurate. They’ve pulled the court papers from the system apparently:
FINAL UPDATE: This is the final update on this article. Reuters has just updated their story and it now states:
The Fulton County, Georgia, court’s website briefly posted a document appearing to detail several criminal charges against Donald Trump on Monday before taking the document down without explanation.
The document was dated Aug. 14 and named Trump, citing the case as “open,” but is no longer available on the court’s website. Reuters was not immediately able to determine why the item was removed. “The Reuters report that those charges were filed is inaccurate. Beyond that we cannot comment,” a spokesperson for the District Attorney’s office said.
The Fulton County clerk’s office could not immediately be reached for comment on the docket report. Representatives for the county and Trump also could not be immediately reached for comment.
The two-page document cites the “Violation Of The Georgia Rico (Racketeer Influenced And Corrupt Organizations) Act,” “Solicitation Of Violation Of Oath By Public Officer,” “Conspiracy To Commit False Statements and Writings” and “Conspiracy To Commit Forgery in the First Degree,” among other charges listed.
So it sounds like this ‘leak’ wasn’t the fault of anyone but the DA’s office. And I’m guessing it is very accurate – because someone had to write it and submit it – and we will see these charges later this week.
