That his name could be one of those on those ten indictments that were returned. Theyve issues taken just a few moments ago. Lashing out at the District Attorney, fani willis here. Something that we have seen the former president doing repeatedly on social media in recent days. They are actually accusing them of Election Interference. Which we should note is, of course, ironic given that what the heart of the indictments potentially. Lets go back to cnn sarah murphy who has been outside the courthouse in atlanta all day. Sarah, obviously we are waiting to see when we are going to potentially hear from baku District Attorney, fani willis, that trump has been attacking here.
