Trump prosecutor to lay out Georgia case in first court hearing on Monday – live

Trump and his cronies have long been pictured at the White House and political rallies.

On the morning of Friday 25 August, the last of the 19 defendants charged as part of a criminal enterprise working to overturn the 2020 election in the state of Georgia surrendered to authorities in Fulton County.

The last to surrender was Christian pastor Stephen Lee.

As the defendants turned themselves in, they had their fingerprints and mug shots taken before being released on bond.

A Fox News contributor suggested that Donald Trump’s call to Georgia election officials asking them to “find votes” was simply a request for a recount and not an attempt to subvert the state’s election results.

In the wake of Mr Trump’s fourth indictment — this time in Fulton County, Georgia, where he is accused of trying to reverse the state’s 2020 presidential election results — Fox News contributor and George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley offered an assessment of why the charges against the former president are bogus.

“I think this is criminalizing the challenging of elections,” he said during Thursday night’s edition of Hannity on Fox News. “Basically, you have a Democratic prosecutor saying, ‘How dare you challenge a Democratic victory?’”

The right-wing host echoed many conservatives in complimenting the four-times indicted, former president over his historic booking photo.

Watters bizarrely felt compelled to say that he was complimenting Mr Trump “with an unblemished record of heterosexuality”.

A grand jury in Georgia delivered 13 felony charges against Mr Trump for his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in the state.

These charges included conspiracy to commit forgery, filing false documents, Solicitation of Violation of Oath by Public Officer.

The design of the limited-edition shirt mimics the band’s 1997 Nimrod album but with former president’s face on it.

Former president even posted course’s head golf professional’s phone number if people did not believe him.

Hearing concerns trial of ex-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows.

The Republican presidential hopeful was asked on Face the Nation on Sunday by host Nancy Cordes why he was now attacking the former president “after he was accused of rape, after he praised Vladimir Putin repeatedly, after he was impeached.”

The former New Jersey governor said that it was because of Mr Trump being the “greatest threat” to democracy.

“The conduct I’m talking about, Nancy, is the one that is the greatest threat to our country and the greatest threat to our democracy,” he said.

“And that was standing in front of the cameras from the White House behind the seal of the president on election night and telling people the election was stolen and for now three years, nearly, continuing to say the same thing, with absolutely no proof and no evidence. That’s the problem, Nancy.

“You can have policy disagreements with someone. And, believe me, I spoke out at the time about the things that I disagreed with Donald Trump on. That’s much different than taking classified documents from the White House and hiding them for 18 months from the government, claiming you don’t have them, when these are some of the biggest secrets in our — in our country’s arsenal.

“It’s different than undercutting democracy, in the way that he was doing so and leading to the right we had on Capitol Hill on January 6. You know, I’m going to get on that stage and I’m going to tell the truth. Regardless of what other people may think, that is the truth.”

Here’s what we know about the case and what’s next for Mr Trump in Georgia.
