And, we now have a fourth indictment.
Prosecutors in the US state of Georgia have charged Donald Trump and 18 others with attempting to overturn his 2020 election loss there.
The former president is facing 13 new charges, which include racketeering and election meddling.
An investigation was sparked in part by a leaked phone call in which Trump asked Georgia's top election official to "find 11,780 votes"

Wow Georgia are really not fucking around. 19 indicted co-conspirators. 30 unindicted co-conspirators. Racketeering and organised crime violations. The judge has said that filming of proceedings will be allowed. Also don't know how true this is but read this elsewhere:
There's a very real chance he may be denied bail for this.
Plus, pardons in Georgia are managed by committee and not individual politicians, presidents cannot issue pardons for state crimes.

This is the official mugshot of Donald Trump released by the Fulton County Sheriff's Office this evening.Donald Trump is now the first former US president to have a mugshot.
Trump surrendered at Fulton County jail where he had his mugshot taken, his height and weight were listed on a booking sheet (6ft 3in, 1.9m and 215 pounds, 97.5kg), and he was released on a $200,000 (£157,000) bail bond.
It's already featured on Trump's own fundraising website, and it popped up on his X/Twitter feed - his first tweet since the former president was banned from the platform in 2021.
The circus continues
A judge has found that Trump, his company, and key executives repeatedly lied about his wealth on annual financial statements, resulting in rewards including favourable loan terms and lower insurance premiums.
This could open him and his company to all kinds of civil action.
A trial is due on 2 October which could endure into December.

"Engoron ordered the cancellation of business licenses for The Trump Organization and several other New York entities associated with the ex-president, effectively crippling or ending their ability to operate in the state. The judge went on to order that the parties recommend independent receivers to oversee the dissolution of the businesses".
He's screwed in New York, some other states will now look at his business dealings there, but some, like Florida, will do nothing.

Guaranteed he will violate it.
He will not go to jail.
Trump is in the witness box today. It is going as predicted - making speeches, insulting the judge and prosecutors, and taking no more than half an hour before the judge suggests that the attorneys may want to have a word with him.
Trump's legal strategy seems to be to use the courts as a campaign platform.
