Hours after a two-page docket listing criminal charges against Donald Trump was posted on—then quickly vanished from—the Fulton County court’s website, the court clerk called it “fictitious” in a statement that seemed to raise more questions than it answered.
The ambiguity, however, seemed to provide the perfect opportunity for Trump’s legal team to cast doubt on the proceedings—with two of his lawyers almost immediately releasing a statement claiming that the document proved that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has “no respect for the integrity of the grand jury process.”
“This was not a simple administrative mistake,” Trump’s lawyers, Drew Findling and Jennifer Little, continued. “A proposed indictment should only be in the hands of the District Attorney’s Office, yet somehow made its way to the clerk’s office and was assigned a case number and a judge before the grand jury even deliberated.”
