Former President Trump recently made it clear that he has no intention of accepting a plea deal on any of the three indictments he is currently facing via Trending Politics News.
“Is there any chance that you take a plea deal?” a reporter asked the former president after he left the Iowa State Fair. “In Georgia?” the reporter added.
Trump has not yet been indicted in Georgia, though Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is reportedly set to bring RICO charges against Trump and a number of his associates. RICO charges are generally used to take down criminal organizations and are most widely known for crippling the Italian mafia.
“There won’t be plea deals, we did nothing wrong,” Trump asserted. “We don’t ever take a plea deal, we don’t take plea deals. It’s a wise guy question.”
“We don’t take plea deals because I did nothing wrong. It’s called election interference,” Trump added, drawing applause from an assembled crowd.
Trump is currently facing hundreds of years in federal prison over charges stemming from two separate investigations. Special Counsel Jack Smith first brought dozens of felony charges against the former president due to his alleged handling of classified documents.
Though President Biden was found to be in possession of numerous troves of documents in unsecured office buildings and his Delaware garage, he has yet to face any charges. Nor has former Vice President Mike Pence, who was also in possession of classified documents. Trump has pleaded not guilty to the more than 40 charges levied against him in the documents case.
