Atlanta is preparing for a fourth Trump indictment, it seems.
According to a report from The Hill, the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office in Atlanta has increased security surrounding Fulton County Courthouse where Donald Trump will likely appear if indicted.
From The Hill:
Pryor Street SW between MLK Jr. Drive and Mitchell Street will close to general traffic starting 5 a.m. Monday through Aug. 18, according to the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office.
The sheriff’s office said the Fulton County Courthouse and Fulton County Government Center will remain open to the public, and pedestrian traffic will be allowed on Pryor Street. No public parking will be permitted around the perimeter of the courthouse on either side of the street.
The tightened security comes as Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) is expected to seek a grand jury indictment in her investigation into Trump and his Republican allies to overturn the 2020 election in the state.
Willis’s investigation into whether Trump violated the law has spanned more than two years, with a heavy focus on a call Trump made to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) in January 2021 where he asked Raffensperger to “find” 11,780 votes to overturn President Biden’s victory in the election.
Videos were shared widely on X of the barricades going up.
