Three prosecutors filed indictments against former President Donald Trump in close succession after he announced another run for president against Joe Biden in 2024.
The indictments from New York, federal and Georgia prosecutors have raised concerns about coordination with the Biden administration.
New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg met with federal law enforcement before indicting Trump on a state charge.

Special Counsel Jack Smith indicted Trump on a federal charge shortly after meetings between Biden’s counsel and Smith’s team came to light.
“Bragg has been very discredited by the indictment because the people that read it, even Democrats—they’re saying this is not an indictment,” Trump said.
“Some are saying this is unconstitutional because there’s no crime. He’s been absolutely discredited. It’s a shame. They’re willing to destroy our country. This is all run by the White House, by the way, just in case you have any questions,” he said.
“In fact, they put a man from the White House into one of the top White House/DOJ officials is right there—Matthew Colangelo. He’s the one that’s leading it. He was sitting in the front row in the court during the whole thing. He was in the front row. This is all done by the White House because they don’t want to run against us,” he said.
Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis indicted Trump after her top prosecutor had two meetings at the White House.
The timing of the indictments – on days of revelations about Biden’s handling of classified documents and Hunter Biden’s dealings – have led Trump to assert they constitute election interference as Biden does not want to face him in 2024.
“[T]he district attorney was totally compromised. The case has to be dropped,” Trump said. “They say she’s in far more criminal liability than any of the people she’s looking at.”
The prosecutors have not denied meetings with the White House but say the cases are independent.
