Donald Trump misspelled “indicted” as “reported” in a post on his Truth Social platform this morning as he lashed out at officials in Georgia.
The former president’s online diatribe came after he and 18 allies were indicted Monday in Georgia for trying to overturn his 2020 election loss in the state — the fourth criminal case filed against Trump this year.
Prosecutors used a statute normally associated with mobsters to charge Trump, lawyers and other aides with a “criminal enterprise” to keep him in power.
Trump took to Truth Social to label Fani Willis – the district attorney for Fulton County, Georgia – as “an out-of-control and highly corrupt district attorney,” declaring the charges were part of a “witch hunt.”
But in his anger at what he called a “falsified” charge against him and 18 others, the former president managed to misspell “indicted” as “designated.”

His online diatribe came after Trump (pictured, Aug. 13) and 18 allies were indicted Monday in Georgia for trying to reverse his 2020 election loss in the state.
“So the witch hunt continues!” he wrote early Tuesday morning.
“19 people turned in (sic) tonight, including the former president of the United States, me, by an out-of-control and highly corrupt prosecutor who campaigned and raised money for, ‘I’ll get Trump.’
“And what about those indictment documents that were released today, long before the Grand Jury had even voted, and then quickly retracted? Sounds Rigged to me!
“Why didn’t they press charges 2.5 years ago? Because they wanted to do it in the middle of my political campaign. Witch hunt!’
Trump also took to the airwaves to hit back at the development, indicting him on charges of racketeering and a string of election crimes.
It came after an extensive, two-year investigation into his efforts to reverse his 2020 defeat to Joe Biden in the US state of Georgia.
Appearing Monday night on Fox News Digital, he called the indictment “politically inspired” and said DA Willis should “focus on the people who rigged the 2020 presidential election, not those who are demanding an answer to what happened.”

“Nineteen people have been charged and the whole world is laughing at the United States as they see how corrupt and horrible it has become under the leadership of Crooked Joe Biden,” he claimed.
“This politically inspired charge, which could have been filed nearly three years ago, was tailor-made to be placed in the middle of my political campaign,” Trump continued.
Just as she allowed Atlanta to go to hell with all its crime and violence, Joe Biden has allowed the United States of America to go to the same place with millions of people invading our country, inflation, bad economy, no energy and disrespect all over the world.”
The case – based on laws typically used to take down mobsters – is the fourth this year against the 77-year-old Republican and could mark a turning point, the first televised trial of a former president in the history of the USA.
Prosecutors in Atlanta have charged Trump with 13 felonies — adding to the legal threats he faces in multiple jurisdictions as a storm of investigations jeopardizes his bid for a second White House term.
Eighteen co-defendants were charged in the investigation, including Trump’s former personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, who pressured local lawmakers over the outcome after the election, and Trump’s White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.
With Trump already on trial in New York, South Florida and Washington, the latest indictments herald the unprecedented scenario of the 2024 presidential election being conducted from both the courtroom and the ballot box.
“Instead of complying with Georgia’s legal process for election challenges, the defendants engaged in criminal racketeering to overturn the results of Georgia’s presidential election,” Fulton County Prosecutor Fani Willis told reporters.
Willis said Trump and his co-defendants had until noon on August 25 to “voluntarily surrender” to authorities, adding that she wants to appear in court within six months.
