Georgia prosecutors could charge Trump with racketeering, experts say ( www.bbc.com )
(Initial paragraphs)
Donald Trump is already facing 78 criminal charges across three cases - but this week in Georgia, he could be hit with one he has never seen before: racketeering.
Local prosecutors in Fulton County have been investigating the efforts to overturn Mr Trump’s defeat in the closely-contested state in the 2020 election.
US media reports suggest the district attorney’s office could be pursuing racketeering charges that implicate several people in a sprawling election subversion conspiracy, with Mr Trump as the alleged ringleader.
If it does, it would be indicting a former American president on charges once used to convict mob bosses like John Gotti and Vincent Gigante.
