LISTEN HERE:
A legal representative and spokesperson for Donald Trump indicated on Sunday that she and the former president’s legal team are anticipating another indictment, this time from the Georgia district attorney’s office, to be issued within a matter of weeks, if not sooner.
Alina Habba shared with Fox News that she foresees Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis bringing forth the indictment within a span of two to three weeks, although recent reports suggest it might occur even more expeditiously.
The ongoing investigation that could lead to a potential fourth indictment against the former president originated from a phone conversation between Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in January 2021.
The call centered on a disagreement concerning vote tabulation.
Maria Bartiromo of “Sunday Morning Futures” inquired of Habba, “Are you expecting an indictment in the coming two or three weeks from Georgia?”
To which Habba responded, “Yes.” She explained that the indications, such as the increased media attention and public relations efforts around the district attorney, suggest that Willis is eager to make her mark.
Habba expressed her view that this move is in line with the actions of other perceived corrupt district attorneys and attorneys general in the country.
Last week, Willis revealed that her team had completed preparations to move forward with an indictment.
Habba observed that Trump’s recent statements, made after entering a plea of not guilty to four federal charges related to the alleged incidents, hint that he is also anticipating the likelihood of a fourth indictment.
Habba voiced her concerns about the situation, asserting that the repeated arrests of Trump are being used as a distraction from perceived corruption within the Biden administration and policies that are deemed to be ineffective.
Meanwhile, in downtown Atlanta, law enforcement officers have surrounded the Fulton County courthouse, leading to road closures and the placement of traffic barriers in anticipation of a potential indictment against Trump.
The courthouse surroundings are unusually quiet, with the absence of usual court worker amenities and heightened security measures.
Trump, presently a frontrunner for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, has faced accusations that these successive indictments are strategically aimed at thwarting his participation in the race.
Concerns linger that Trump could secure the nomination only to be convicted in one of the ongoing cases against him, thereby depriving the Republican field of a viable candidate to challenge President Joe Biden.
The most recent charges pertain to alleged actions associated with the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. These charges were brought forth by special counsel Jack Smith last week. Trump has entered a plea of not guilty to all of the charges.
