Donald Trump indicted: Ex-president slams Georgia indictment as ‘lengthy Witch Hunt ever’.
Former President Donald Trump Slams Latest Indictment as “Witch Hunt”
“A continuation of the greatest and longest-running Witch Hunt in American history.”
In a late-night interview with Fox News, former President Donald Trump expressed his frustration and disbelief at the recent indictment from a grand jury in Georgia. Trump, who was named in the indictment along with 18 others and charged with multiple counts, criticized the timing and motives behind the charges.
Trump Questions Timing of Indictment
Trump raised suspicions about the timing of the indictment, pointing out that it coincides with his 2024 presidential campaign and the upcoming Republican caucuses and primaries. He suggested that the politically motivated charges were strategically placed to disrupt his campaign momentum.
“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,” Trump stated.
Claims of Election Rigging
Continuing to assert that the 2020 election was illegitimate, Trump redirected attention to those he believes should be investigated. He criticized District Attorney Fani Willis for focusing on him instead of addressing alleged election rigging.
“She should focus on the people that rigged the 2020 presidential election, not those who demand an answer as to what happened,” Trump argued.
Attacks on Willis and Biden
Trump didn’t hold back in his criticism of Willis, labeling her as “racist and corrupt.” He drew parallels between her and President Joe Biden, highlighting what he perceives as their failures in leadership.
“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,” Trump asserted.
Trump’s Fifth Indictment
This latest indictment from the Georgia grand jury marks Trump’s fifth indictment in four criminal cases this year. The former president finds himself entangled in legal battles while actively campaigning for the 2024 presidential election.
Defendants named in the indictment, including Trump’s associates such as Rudy Giuliani and Mark Meadows, are accused of violating Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, commonly known as “RICO.”
According to District Attorney Fani Willis, all 19 defendants are expected to report to authorities in Fulton County, Georgia, by noon local time on Aug. 25. She plans to try all the defendants together.
