Here, she is not an expert in clerks and refused to answer the questions. Yeah, throughout the day today, beginning early this morning, our team has been outside of the courthouse alongside numerous other members of the media and everyone was anticipating or waiting for potential indictment against the former president today and earlier today there was buzz or information circulating he had been indicted and reuters published the indictment around the lunchtime hour thachl generated buzz that the indictment had come down. All of a sudden the Fulton County clerk office said those are not correct, legitimate documents, they are fictitious, there is no indictment. Fastforward to immediate night and the indictment is remarkably similar if not identical to the document that surfaced today on the county website, it generated a lot of questions. How did that get up there, on a Government Website . Tonight when the District Attorney was asked about it, she said she had no comment, she is not an expert in the clerk duties, she is probably intimately aware how the website works. Im sure there will be more interest and questions that need to be answered regarding how that fictitious indictment landed on the website earlier today. Tonight the Fulton CountyDistrict Attorney fani willis says 19 people were charged including 41 Felony Counts against former President Trump and many associates, including Rudy Giuliani and mark meadows. Every Single Person is charged with one count of the rico act in georgia, racketeering charge. And there is minimum sentence attached to the charges, not something you can get probation for. Among the names, fun fact, connie west, former publicist and trevor kudid sheing ian. The Fulton County da call third degree a Criminal Enterprise that had the goal of allowing donald trump to seize the office on january 20, 2021. Fulton county District Attorney saying 19 people created a Criminal Enterprise that happened here in georgia and elsewhere outside of the state. The da wants a trial within six months, she says she doesnt want to be first or last to indict donald trump, but she wants her trial to happen within six months and she is asking all 19 people named in the indictment to turn themselves in by next friday. Well get back to you. I will bring in Jason Chaffetz because of the political aspect of this. You have been watching all night long and have to be fascinated, you have the da come out, fani willis and she is asked about the fictitious document and they did not say the website had been hacked, they said the document was fictitious, produced before the grand jury voting. Lets play it and ill get your take. No, i cant tell you anything about what you refer to. What i can tell you is we had a grand jury here in Fulton County, they deliberated until almost 8 00, an indictment was returned, true billd and we now have an indictment. I am not an expert on clerk duties or even administrative duties, i wouldnt know how to work that system. Kudos on that, question, that will come up again and again. You said it was fictitious and phony document and it turned out to look like the real thing. Jason what is Fulton County doing to pursue . Is that not a crime to put a fictitious document on a website and it is the same document or similar to that prior to the grand jury actually voting . Boy, fani willis is off to a good start. A few days ago, she posted new information, had a fundraising email go out, trying to raise money, she is involved and engaged in election. She has more than 21 2 years to pursue this, just happens to come to tee up under her timeline to prosecute somebody and bring it to trial in the middle of the primary season. Shes going after kanye wests posse, seriously . That is one of the people indicted, along with donald trump . Why are they not pursuing the democrats that challenged an election . Stacey abrams never admitted and went after the whole system, said it was rigged, kemp had rigged this thing and done it wrong, i did not hear anybody barking at stacey adams, she still never admitted she didnt win the election. You say that and the da was saying issue not verbait, but fairly close the former president did not abide by Georgia Process for disputing elections, he broke the law. One wonders if Stacey Abrams said this was wrong, did abrams abide by the go go process for disputing elections, jason . Jason do you give up your First Amendment right . No reason somebody cant challenge the election. Remember what is going on in real time . A lot of people had serious questions, why cant you ask the question, do that and get a legal team to give you an opinion. That is really what shes going to prosecute here . The whole thing, four indictments and timing against donald trump seems farcical and i cant get over the idea that kanyes publicist is on that list. Im sorry, what, what did i do . Lastly, jason, the concepts, we have seen again and i brought this up with alvin bragg and seen other Daytime Emmys give their case before the media, after the indictment is unsealed and it just seems to me like it continueds to fall flat. You expect a da to go up there and give the charges, read the charges and give you context and perspective and give you the reason why you should be so infuriated at the behavior and instead you get a running list of the indictment itself and no reason, no Intestinal Fortitude reason why we should feel the justice department, the Justice System is above board. Jason you are exactly right. That gives you the feeling, the impression, if they had a smoking gun on donald trump, dont you think they would lead with that, create a case and say, see this document, this recording, we cant ignore this, folks, this is what were prosecuting. They dont have it, they would lead with it. They try to scare people, 41 indictments and hoopla about how many there are. There is no content there. We have seen this before, that has been the story since donald trump descended on that escalator. They throw stuff at him, when you try to see it, we dont see anything, that is the problem. Stand by, if you will or let me know if you need a break, we appreciate that. Want to go to the numbers, 19 individuals charged in the indictment. 41 Felony Counts, it is 97 pages long and i know it because i have it in front of me here and the prosecutor spoke to the media and was brief about seven minutes. I want to bring in kevin corke this is the fourth of the indictment and kevin corke is live to give us rundown of the other three indictments. Good evening. Kevin good evening, quite a day as the entire country watching this unfold in realtime. This latest prosecution of the former president extends legal jeopardy for the gop frontrunner. This is to say nothing of the mounting legal bills hitting trump coffers. This keeps ongoing. Georgia becoming fourth is exped not guilty to all the charges in the state of georgia. I think this is going to play out in a very interesting way trace youve heard some 00 fani willis wants to get this wrapped up somehow or in the hands of court before then. Well see if that happens. You and i apparently have the same clerical team, the last page has a couple witness names 97 point something, something. Kevin corke back to you as news breaks. On what kevin was just talking about, jeff was just in florida and hes dealing with the florida case, you were down there. New information on that. Everybody is trying to thread the needle and get their case in before and you with the appeals process and you have fani willis saying i will have all 19 people tried within six months and the judge sets the trial date and push for less than six months and in florida trying to get this stuff on the agenda. Original date set for may 2024, that could get delayed, bringing on new codefendant and new charges. In florida, they are accusing the Property Manager of maralago of trying to delete Surveillance Footage and you have trumps body man according to investigators at guidance of trump was moving boxes around. This is one case in florida, very complicated and serious charges there. Well see if that gets pushed back. Trumps team has right to delay the trial with new codefendant and new charges, that is just one indictment. We have three others now. You have legal chess pieces, moving in new jersey, moving in florida, moving in georgia and the nations capitol. It is one of those things, if you are trying to run for the presidency, you have to be able to carve out some time tlchl is theory you have to let this person carve out some time so there is not Election Interference. Right, another thing trump and his legal team are going to have to worry about moving forward are other people named in the indictments and we spoke with Kendell Coffee, former u. S. Attorney in the Southern District of florida and he basically said more people that get added on to indictments, the more trouble it could spell for the legal process, being delayed and also for trump himself. You dont know if they will start taking plea deals and with this indictment, so many people may, who knows how people will play this off, everyone in a game now. Nobody can keep up and people in florida, that was the first one, try to figure this out and you line ducks up and see if you can get them put. Jeff paul, thank you. I want to bring in jackie ibanez, she has political reaction to what happened in georgia. We heard from angry politicians throughout the night, what are you learning . Republicans accusing democrats and Biden Administration what they consider weaponization of the justice department. Texas senator ted cruz not holding back when he spoke to sean hannity. This is disgraceful, our country is over 200 years old, we have never indicted a candidateidate and leading candidate for president. Cruz is raising questions about the timing of the indictment, suggesting each time there is bad news circulating for President Biden and his son hunter, the former president faces indictment. Former opponent Hillary Clinton says she did not take any satisfaction in this, but it is under the law. Vivek ramaswamy tweeted, this advice for the former president. Since before prosecution against trump are using novel and tested legal theory, fair game for him to do the same in Defense File Motion to dismiss for constitutional Due Process Violation for publicly issuing an indictment before the grand jury had actually signed one. Here is Hillary Clinton. Listen to this. This is a terrible moment for our country to have a former president accused of terribly important crimes. The only satisfaction may be that the system is working. Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries weigh nothing on tonights Breaking News saying the fourth indictment of donald trump just like the three which came before it, repeated pattern of Criminal Activity by the former President Trump. That said, the former president does not appear to be taking political hits from the legal troubles, at least among republicans. He holds a wide lead over his challengers. Indeed he does. Jackie ibanez, thank you. Bring in Kaylee Mcgee White with the washington examiner. When Hillary Clinton comes out and pointing the finger and calling them corrupt, it seems very rich. Taking the hammer to the server and deleting the emails and coming out and calling you names, i think that is not the best guess for msnbc to put on. Actually, i disagree, it is perfect, who better know that the expert on conspiracy to overturn resultless of an election than Hillary Clinton. You have a long list of democrats that could be charged with the exact same crime trump is being charged with. We have Abrams In Georgia and williams, a georgia democrat, who was arrested in 2018 for obstructing State Capitol proceedings voting on election results. Guess what, Fulton County prosecutors chose not to pursue charges against her thchl is what we mean there is double standard and twotiered system of justice. One side is being treated differently than the other and American People are waking up to the fact. It does not matter to democrats or prosecutors whether any charges holdup in court, the timing is the point. Look at the next year of Schedule Trump has to go on in court and campaign trail, it is absurd, the point is to prevent him from campaigning. He will have to appear eight times before super tuesday, that is the point, it doesnt matter whether any charges holdup in court, the point is to taint his record so he is rejected offhand. I hear legal experts and average people saying, it is totality of the pattern here, not just the trump indictment, not russian collusion, totality, you have the doj going after parents in one area, the fbi going after catholics in another area, you have censorship and now we know they were censoring true covid information, so they are going after regular people, parents, censoring regular people and will when you go after the former president four times, people tend to lose a little faith in the systems we have bought into for so long. Yeah, also consider the timing of charges against trump. Indictment dropped against trump day after revelation against hunter biden drops. This is not coincidence and i dont think anyone thinks it is. Think about the timing, the Fulton CountyDistrict Attorney wants to have the trial within the next six months and hunter biden has taken how many years to flesh out bo into biden . Why taken so long to investigate the president s embattled son and why is Fulton CountyDistrict Attorney able to expedite this in the next six months . These things are not a coincidence and the American People need to wake up to that fact. Talk about trying to shoehorn hunter Biden Allegations and of course david weiss let them die. He let the charges just expire and that is the reason this has taken so long and why people have such little faith in david weiss being named as Special Counsel, he is the one that let these things die and the one that cut every one of the interviews off with the biden family, the Biden Grandkids and joe biden off at the pass. There is a pattern of deception at the very least and that frustrates people. I have about 30 seconds for you. Absolutely, as many people pointed out, the process of this indictment raises many red flags, whether it is the grand jury forewoman going on cnn, giggling about the indictment or the fictitious letter released ahead of time, these are strong points for trumps defense team to make and well see how it ends up going. Kaylee mcgee white, thank you. I will check in with matt finn, they are wrapping up in georgia. Matt, you have been out there doing yeomans work and we appreciate it. What do we wrap up with tonight . What is our going away thought . I just talked to brian innis in the Press Conference with the District Attorney and he is the one that asked about the fictitious documents posted to the Fulton County website today. The District Attorney fani willis says she wants her trial to happen in the next six months. There are competing schedules here, but i will toss to a quick sound bite, the District Attorney wants this on the calendar within six months. I dont have any desire to be first or last, i want to try him and be respectful for sovereign states. We want to move this case along and we will be asking for proposed order that occurs trial date within the next six months. There you have it. We were saying earlier today, there were members of the media outside the white house waiting for pending indictment. When reuters reported the indictment came down, people said, here it is. The clerk came out and said that was not the indictment, that was fictitious. One observation, you would think the District Attorney would walk in tonight and be prepared to explain what happened, you are talking about indictment of former president of the United States, you thought she would be prepared to address what happened. She did not talk about it at all and when asked about it, she deferred, i do not have expert skills in Administrate Ohr or clerical working. She knows how indictments are posted on the website. It may not be malicious, it may be a clerical error, when you have a sensitive case like this, the former president expected to be indictment, you think you would
