“A proposed indictment should only be in the hands of the District Attorney’s Office, yet it somehow made its way to the clerk’s office and was assigned a case number and a judge before the grand jury even deliberated.

Trump was livid.

The Office of the Fulton County Clerk of Superior and Magistrate Courts claimed the document was fake, according to The Independent.

The office said they had “learned of a fictitious document that has been circulated online and reported by various media outlets related to The Fulton County Special Purpose Grand Jury”.

“While there have been no documents filed today regarding such, all members of the media should be reminded that documents that do not bear an official case number, filing date, and the name of The Clerk of Courts, in concert, are not considered official filings and should not be treated as such,” the Court said.

The Associated Press noted that the document posted had a case number.

The document was dated Aug. 14, listed Fulton County Judge Rachelle Carnesale, and had a status of “open.”

The document said Donald John Trump was charged with numerous alleged felony crimes and one “serious felony.” Charges on the document include one for “Violation Of The Georgia RICO (Racketeer Influenced And Corrupt Organizations) Act,” as well as “Solicitation of Violation of Oath by Public Officer.”

Charges of conspiracy listed in the document include conspiracy to commit “impersonating a public officer,” as well as “forgery,” making “false statements” and “filing false documents.”
