"Trump Indictments Loom: Georgia Courthouse Secured with Barriers"

Barriers have been erected outside a courthouse in Fulton County, Georgia, in anticipation of possible indictments related to interference in the 2020 presidential election. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis plans to charge former President Donald Trump with crimes including witness tampering. Concerns about potential reactions from Trump's followers have been ongoing since the Capitol riots in January 2021. Special Counsel Jack Smith is also expected to announce the findings of a probe into Trump's conduct, including allegations of removing top-secret documents from the White House.

Georgia prosecutor eyes August for potential Trump charges.

The prosecutor investigating possible interference in the 2020 election by Donald Trump and his allies has requested no trials or in-person hearings be held at the Fulton County courthouse in early August, indicating that charges could be announced during that time. The special grand jury recommended indicting more than a dozen people, and a number of "fake electors" have struck immunity deals with the prosecutor's office. Trump has denied any wrongdoing in the case, and his lawyers have argued that all the evidence gathered by the grand jury should be deemed unconstitutional.
