The charges in Georgia under anti-organised crime laws carry a penalty of between five and 20 years in prison. Crucially for Trump, they are also unpardonable.
: It is truly extraordinary that a former US president is now facing a total of 91 charges across four states as he campaigns to return to the White House.
But unlike all the other indictments, this one is different on multiple fronts – and is the one Trump should fear most.Firstly, it’s based on Georgia’s expansive Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organisations law – otherwise known as RICO – which is used to target mobsters involved in organised crime, such as money laundering, bribery, and drug trafficking.
And finally, Georgia is a state that allows cameras into its courtrooms, which means that if the case makes it to trial, it will be televised for the world to watch – and for the court of public opinion to assess. Trump, meanwhile, insists that he is innocent and has accused Willis of yet another political witch-hunt designed to stop him becoming president.
