“I have no dog in this fight,” the Court employee said of the criminal case.

Alexander also was responsible for a statement calling the charges “fictitious” after the mix-up — a choice of words that left some observers scratching their heads when the charges materialized as real and official.

“That was the best word that I could come up with. It was fictitious. It wasn’t real. It didn’t have a stamp on it,” the clerk said of the statement.

The criminal charges against Trump are very much real, in spite of the Court error seemingly behind their early release.

Trump is facing 13 counts in the case, including a felony racketeering charge.

The Georgia charges constitute the fourth criminal case this year targeting Trump.

Special counsel Jack Smith is prosecuting two federal cases against the former president, involving alleged mishandling of classified documents and alleged subversion of the 2020 Election.

Meanwhile, in New York, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is prosecuting him for allegedly falsifying business records of payments to pornographic performer Stormy Daniels and others.
