The prosecutor asked a county judge in May to keep the courthouse clear and prepared for any potential violence, just in case she moved ahead with a second grand jury seeking an indictment of ex-President Donald Trump. On July 27, orange barricades encircled the Fulton County courthouse compound, telegraphing as clearly as possible that the former Leader of the Free World was about to face a judicial summons, even as he leads the pack of rivals for the Republican Party's nomination in 2024.
And on Aug. 14, those convinced Trump may have acted illegally in his attempts to set aside his legitimate loss in Georgia in 2020 found they were not alone: the Fulton County district attorney and a grand jury agree. The indictment they handed down includes 13 state charges of racketeering, soliciting a public official to violate their oath, and conspiracies to impersonate a public official, to commit forgery, to falsify writings and statements, and to file false documents.
Fulton County DA Fani Willis' indictment brings the number of criminal cases against Trump to four, after he became the first President to ever be criminally indicted earlier this year. He now faces 91 criminal charges in four jurisdictions, and will need to juggle numerous trial dates with the packed 2024 primary calendar. (Trump has pleaded not guilty or denied wrongdoing in all charges.)
