A Trump-backed ad targeting a Georgia attorney general claims she is unfit to prosecute Trump. The Georgia case is about Trump allegedly trying to manipulate the 2020 election results. Besides the Georgia case, Trump has already been indicted in three cases the last four months. view more
In a so-called “attack ad” from the Trump camp directed at Attorney General Fani Willis in the state of Georgia, there will be accusations that she is unfit to prosecute a case against Trump, because she allegedly had an “inappropriate relationship” with a former client.
According to an internal email obtained by the AP news agency, Willis has told his employees that the ad is “demeaning” and untrue.
She has also given everyone at the state attorney’s office a clear message not to comment on the ad:
– You cannot in any way comment on the ad or anything else negative that may be expressed against me, your colleagues, or this office in the coming days, weeks or months, the email says.

Background: “You have to find 11,780 votes” – new case could be the worst for Trump
NEW YORK (VG) Donald Trump has had to respond to three serious indictments in four months.
During a campaign rally this week, Trump called the African-American 52-year-old “a young, female racist.”
– She has big problems. She wants to sue me in order to get new positions, Trump claims.
But Willis rises above the criticism and avoids a war of words with the ex-president:
– We have no personal feelings towards those we investigate or prosecute, and we should not express any. This is business, it will never be personal, she writes.
Willis has not yet brought charges against Trump, but as VG wrote earlier this week, it is expected that charges will be brought against Trump next week, for attempting to manipulate the election results in the state after the last presidential election.
In Fulton County in Georgia, where a grand jury will decide whether the investigation against Trump should lead to an indictment, there are fears of riots in support of the former president.
Sheriff Pat Labat tells the local TV station Fox5Atlanta that he has daily meetings about the security of a possible legal hearing, and that recently installed security barriers around the courthouse will be up next week.
The case in Georgia is about Trump allegedly trying to pressure the local administration to “find 11,780 votes” after the 2020 presidential election, so that he could win the election nationwide.
Trump claimed at the time, without basis, that it was really him and not President Joe Biden who had won.
The ex-president now says the phone calls he made to influence the outcome were “perfect”. Trump believes the charges against him are politically motivated because the Democrats fear he will win the election in 2024.

In addition to the possible indictment in Georgia, Trump has already been indicted in three cases in the past four months:
Last week, Trump himself had to appear in court in Washington DC, where he was accused of having provoked the violent attack on Congress on January 6, 2021. It is a federal indictment – i.e. nationwide. In Florida, he is charged in the so-called “document case », which is about Trump taking classified papers from the White House. This indictment is also at the federal level. In addition, Trump is indicted in New York at the state level, for having used election campaign money to pay a pornographic actor to remain silent about the fact that they had had sex. If Trump is successful in being re-elected as president, he could pardon himself, but not in the cases at the state level. Published:
