Donald Trump faces the possibility of a fourth indictment, this time in Georgia, related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. The upcoming legal battles could impact the 2024 election season.
Atlanta-area prosecutor Fani Willis, a Democrat, is nearing the end of her probe into Trump's bid to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia, seeking charges against more than a dozen people.
Trump believes he will face charges and is already fundraising, casting them as Democratic interference in the 2024 election.
This potential case in Georgia has key differences from previous indictments, and presidential powers may not extend to local matters.
A complex legal scenario arises if Trump wins the White House in 2024, potentially leading to constitutional litigation.
The charges in Georgia could cover conduct from Trump's time as president and could be more profound than previous cases.
The Willis investigation has focused on potential conspiracy involving Trump's legal team and a breach of a voting system in Coffee County, Georgia.
Trump's team warns that he can't get a fair trial while running for president, but this claim has not been widely accepted by judges.
Trump's legal entanglements could impact the 2024 election, especially if he becomes the Republican nominee and faces an incumbent whose Justice Department is investigating him.
