Spring blizzard on the way. Now that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has charged Donald Trump on 34 felony counts related to hush money payments to an adult film star and Playboy model before the 2016 election, all eyes are focused on Fulton County, Georgia, where the next shoe is poised to drop that could force the former president to make another court appearance. According to a report from the New York Times, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis could be bringing a case against Trump and an assortment of aides and supporters that will be far more complex and far-reaching than the legal proceedings in New York City. With the Times describing Trump as facing a "blizzard of legal challenges," the Georgia investigation into the former president's attempts to tamper with the 2020 presidential election results could further bog down his efforts to rise above it all and make a third run for the presidency. www.rawstory.com/… x "One, over classified documents. Two, the insurrection. Three, pressuring the secretary of state to 'find some votes' in Georgia. Four, tax fraud at the Trump Org. And five, a new SEC probe into Truth Social." Those are all the *other* investigations. https://t.co/YZeBydMAyP — The Bulwark (@BulwarkOnline) April 6, 2023 Mr. Trump is also under investigation by Jack Smith, a special counsel appointed by Attorney General Merrick B. Garland, for his role in the events leading up to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol and his decisions to retain sensitive government documents at his home in Florida. If Ms. Willis chooses to seek indictments in the Georgia case, she may do so after a new grand jury begins its work in the second week of May, though nothing is set in stone. Typically, presenting such cases to a regular grand jury is a short process that takes a day or two. The wide scope of the investigation has been evident for months, and Ms. Willis has said that seeking an indictment under the state’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations, or RICO, statute is an option that she is considering. Like the similar federal law, the Georgia RICO statute allows prosecutors to bundle what may seem to be unrelated crimes committed by a host of different people if those crimes are perceived to be in support of a common objective. www.nytimes.com/...
