Donald Trump is slamming a Georgia prosecutor who could bring a new criminal indictment against the former president in the coming week.
Trump took to his Truth Social platform on Sunday to deny trying to tamper with the 2020 election result in Georgia.
He also referred to the prosecutor, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, as "Phoney Fani" and repeated an unsubstantiated claim that she had an affair with a gang member.
Willis is expected to start presenting her case to a grand jury on Monday. Media reports suggest an indictment could come as early as Tuesday.
The district attorney is investigating several incidents: Trump's call asking the Georgia secretary of state to "find" 11,000 votes to reverse Joe Biden's victory in the state; a fake electors scheme; false testimony about election fraud; and harassment of election workers.
Trump already faces a state indictment in New York and two federal indictments. He says they are politically motivated.
