Donald Trump, a former president, categorically rejects any plea agreement for his ongoing charges.
Attention is drawn to Trump’s vehement response to rumours of a possible indictment at the Iowa State Fair.
“Is there any chance you take a plea deal in Georgia?” Asked Trump by a reporter.
“We did nothing wrong. We don’t ever take a plea deal. We don’t take plea deals. It’s a wise guy question. You’re just a wise guy. “We don’t take plea deals because I did nothing wrong. It’s called election interference,” Trump said.
He reaffirmed that he will not negotiate since he “did nothing wrong.”
“Because these indictments are going out by Biden. Who can’t even put two sentences together. This is Joe Biden. Because he can’t win the election by himself. He can’t win the election based on votes. So what they did is they got the attorney general to do it. And then you see how stupid they acted yesterday with the appointment of the special counsel. They call it special counsel. And what a crazy thing that was. And it’s being laughed at all over the world,” he said.
“The fact is that we have a country that’s in serious trouble. We have a country that’s in major decline. I don’t mean decline, I mean major decline. And we’re going to straighten it out. This group and a lot of people just like this group. We’re going to straighten it out, and we’re going to make America great again. Wise guy,” he said.
Alvin Bragg, the district attorney for Manhattan, accuses Trump of fabricating financial documents.
Two charges against Trump have been obtained by Special Counsel Jack Smith, one regarding secret papers found at his Mar-a-Lago resort in South Florida and the other related his efforts to contest the results of the 2020 election.
According to trustworthy sources who talked exclusively to CNN, District Attorney Fani Willis is anticipated to pursue more than a dozen indictments in this high-profile case, including ones against Trump and others.
Patrick Labat, the sheriff of Fulton County, has threatened to take a mugshot of Trump if he is charged.

“First and foremost, we will follow our own policies and procedures. We simply don’t … give any leniency just because of your status. Ultimately, there may be a court order that his lawyers may ask for, there may be some alternate … processes around it, but we’ll stay focused on our policies and procedures. And if a mugshot is warranted, we’ll follow that policy and procedure as well,” Axios reported.
“And so again, we treat everybody equally,” he said. “We’ve certainly learned from both New York as well as Miami. So, we’ve got a lot of different agencies involved.”
In the middle of Trump’s constant barrage of assaults, Willis fights back.
In an email to her team, she vehemently denounced and disregarded an attack ad that was directed at her and urged them to avoid responding to it.
She strongly asserted that the accusations made against her and her coworkers were purely “business” and not “personal,” as reported by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
“It is my understanding that an ad was put in the Atlanta market to run between today 8/9 and 8/13 that will have derogatory and false information about me as the District Attorney of the Atlanta Judicial Circuit. Apparently, a lot of money was spent to run this ad in the Atlanta market over the next 5 days. That means the ad will run quite frequently over the next 5 days,” she said.
“Each of you represents me. Especially, ADA’s who all took an oath under my name. We often remind you if you are an ADA you are my personal staff and represent me. Many of you are quite kind to me, very protective, and will become very defensive if someone attempts to attack me, the office, or your colleagues. You may not comment in any way on the ad or any of the negativity that may be expressed against me, your colleagues, this office in coming days, weeks, or months,” the prosecutor said.
“We have no personal feelings against those we investigate or prosecute and we should not express any. This is business, it will never be personal,” she said.
