A Georgia judge on Monday indicted a Republican billionaire under the Organized Crime Act, accusing him of engaging in “criminal activity” in the key state to try to overturn the election results he lost to Joe Biden.

This is the fourth criminal charge against the former president, who is running for the White House again and remains the favorite in the Republican primary.

Fanny Willis, the district attorney for Fulton County in Georgia, asked the court to set a trial date of March 4. She said she chose the date so as not to interfere with other federal or state lawsuits against Donald Trump. The final date will be determined by the judge.

If he wins the 2024 presidential election, if convicted, Donald Trump will not be able to pardon himself or get prosecutors to waive prosecution because this is a Georgia case over which the federal state has no jurisdiction.

The former president, who dominates his opponents in the polls in the primary election, is scheduled to appear in court in March and May 2024. He will have to answer for the fact that he bought the silence of a porn actress in the court of the state of New York. , and for allegedly negligent handling of confidential documents in a federal court in Florida.
