Donald Trump was hit with a fourth indictment. The front-runner in the Republican primary faces a total of 91 criminal charges. The latest blow comes from Georgia, where the former president and 18 others are accused of trying to overturn the swing state’s election result in 2020. Fani Willis, Fulton County’s district attorney, accuses Mr Trump of violating a racketeering act, more often used to ensnare mob bosses. He calls the indictment a “witch hunt”.
