Former President Donald Trump says he will release his own report on what he calls Election Fraud in georgia. That comes after prosecutors in the us state charged donald trump and 18 others with attempting to overturn his 2020 election defeat there. The former president is facing 13 new charges, including racketeering and conspiracy. Racketeering is a type of organised crime where a person profits through dishonest or illegal activities. This is his fourth criminal indictment; he now faces in total 91 charges with allegations of election interference, hush money paid to a porn star, and mishandling classified documents. Mr trump has denied any wrongdoing in all of his criminal cases. Hes called the latest charges a witch hunt. He hopes to win the us presidency again next year, and is currently the frontrunner for the Republican Partys nomination. Our North America editor sarah smith has more. The courthouse in downtown atlanta, where donald trump and his allies will be tried for conspiring to overturn the 2020 election, on charges usually brought against mobsters that carry a minimum of five years injail. He has successfully made all the charges against him part of his campaign to be re elected president , claiming as usual this is a witchhunt against him, accusing the prosecutor of political motives. I make decisions in this office based on the facts and the law. The law is completely nonpartisan. Thats how decisions are made in every case. The 13 charges against donald trump include racketeering, soliciting a public officer to violate their oath, conspiracy to commit forgery and conspiring to file false documents. His legal Adviserjohn Eastman and personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani are among the 18 others charged as part of the widespread criminal enterprise. Frankly, we did win this election. As he refused to accept defeat, trump and his allies focused on georgia, claiming incorrectly that thousands of fraudulent ballots had been counted forjoe biden. Calling georgias senior election official, asking to find enough votes to tip the state his way. The trump teams lies, like the claim that cctv footage showed suitcases full of fake votes, are now being treated as crimes. Republican activists in cobb county, georgia have been expecting these charges and theyve been watching Donald Trumps support increase each time he gets arrested. Can donald trump successfully run for president if hes fighting four court cases at the same time . Hes a fighter, hes used to fighting. Hes been fighting for years, so i think hell have no problem. The republicans dont risk losing the president ial election if they pick him as the candidate . I really dont think so. I think the more that goes on, the more people are seeing what hes saying that it is a two tiered justice system, itsjust being used against We The People now. Donald trump cant stop campaigning, but he will also need to defend himself in court. He says he will release next week what he calls a detailed report that he claims will back up his lies about Election Fraud in georgia. Sarah smith, bbc news, atlanta, georgia.
