He called him a failed ruler.

Trump demands key :

witness not testify in Georgia investigation :

Former President Donald Trump attacked Georgia's former lieutenant governor Jeff Duncan and demanded that he not testify before the Fulton County grand jury in the 2020 election results.

According to the US website Axios :

• Trump posted on his personal account

• at the Truth Social Social Social Media Platform

• I read reports that Georgia's failed former Lieutenant

• Governor Jeff Duncan will testify before the Fulton County grand jury.

He added : 

He shouldn't... I barely know him.

• But since the beginning of this political prosecution

• it has been an abhorrent catastrophe for those looking into

• the electoral fraud that occurred in Georgia. 

On Saturday, Duncan, who criticized Trump's claims of 2020 "election fraud,"

said he was summoned to appear Tuesday before the Fulton County grand jury.

Republicans

should not allow a confusion between honesty

and vulnerability, Duncan wrote in a post on the ex-Twitter platform X.

Axios reported that Fulton County District Attorney Fanny Willis was preparing to issue an indictment on Trump's alleged efforts to manipulate the election results.

Trump's post Monday on :

• his own platform comes days after the judge overseeing

• a separate trial related to the federal investigation into

• his alleged efforts to change the 2020 election results

• warned against making "inflammatory statements"

that could frighten witnesses in that trial.

U.S.

District Judge Tanya Chutkan said during a hearing Friday that any appearance of

influence over witnesses would increase the need for a speedy trial.

Furthermore

in a separate report :

Axios stated that the facts of Trump's potential trial in Georgia

may be broadcast on television as Georgia law requires that

cameras be allowed during judicial proceedings with the judge's approval.

According to Axios

public attention has fallen on

Trump's legal issues with each subsequent indictment.

Trump is already

facing 3 criminal trials in Washington over efforts to :

• change the 2020 election results

• in Florida for keeping secret documents

• in New York for allegedly paying secret money

• and in Trump's not guilty plea to the three cases.

He also faces a fourth indictment in Georgia in an investigation into

the attempt to change the state's 2020 presidential election results.

Trump protesting: "You look fake to me!"

On Tuesday :

former US President Donald Trump denounced accusations against him in Georgia of

trying to overturn the results of the state's presidential election as "false."

Trump

a candidate to represent the Republican Party in

the 2024 presidential election, wrote on his social media

platform Truth

Sochal commenting on his indictment:

"Sounds false to me!"

Why didn't they charge me two and a half years ago?

because they want to do this in the middle of my political campaign ".

Meanwhile :

Trump and 18 people charged with him over their practices during

the 2020 election have been assigned until 25 August to stand trial in Georgia

according to Fanny Willis' attorney general.

The prosecutor

who has been investigating the file since 2021

said she wanted the trial in this case to take place "within 6 months."

On Monday

a grand jury in Georgia agreed to file a 10-count indictment against

the former US president in the case of attempting to overturn

the outcome of the 2020 election in this state.

This will be

the fourth indictment filed against Trump this year

which could lead to :

the first televised trial of a former president in American history

involving charges commonly used to bring down gangsters.

Judicial analysts expect Atlanta District Attorney Fanny Willis to gather allegations against Trump and a number of co-conspirators in one case, under Georgia's RICO Act.

President Joe Biden's southern state

which won by less than 12,000 votes in 2020

poses the most serious threat to Trump's freedom as

he seeks to win the Republican nomination for re-election in 2024.

Even if elected

Trump in Georgia would not have any of the powers that presidents in

the federal system have to issue pardons or have prosecutors drop cases.
