Live news: Georgia prosecutor denies state has filed charges against Donald Trump

The Fulton County district attorney’s office has denied reports that the state of Georgia had filed a legal challenge against Donald Trump, even as prosecutors prepared a fourth indictment against the former president.

The Fulton County district attorney’s office, which has been probing alleged meddling by Trump and others in the 2020 presidential election, on Monday said that reports saying Georgia had filed charges against the ex-president were “incorrect”.

According to Reuters, a docket report appeared on the Fulton County court website on Monday suggesting that Georgia would charge Trump with counts including racketeering, false statements and conspiracy, but later became unavailable. The office did not immediately respond to queries about the docket report.
