The legal challenges for the leading Republican candidate continue to grow, with the possibility of facing indictments in both Georgia and federal court.
Despite being the frontrunner for the Republican Party's next presidential candidate, Donald Trump continues to face mounting legal challenges.
Recently, Justice Department Special Counsel Jack Smith informed Mr. Trump that he is the subject of a grand jury investigation regarding his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election and his alleged role in the deadly Capitol riot on January 6, 2021.
Adding to his legal troubles, he has already been indicted twice this year – once over hush money payments allegedly made during his 2016 election campaign and secondly over his alleged mishandling of classified documents after leaving the White House.
Furthermore, he is also under investigation by Fani Willis, the district attorney of Fulton County, Georgia, over his alleged attempt to influence state officials immediately after the 2020 presidential election, while the vote count was ongoing in that crucial swing state.
Mr. Trump vigorously denies any wrongdoing and repeatedly asserts, without providing evidence, that he is the target of an expensive "witch hunt" orchestrated by the Joe Biden administration. He claims that the US justice system has been weaponized against him in an effort to thwart his proposed political comeback at the taxpayers' expense.
