Trump hearing live: Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis to hold first Georgia election case hearing as mugshot merchandise raises $7.1m

Americans actually agree on something in this time of raw discord: Joe Biden is too old to be an effective president in a second term, according to a majority surveyed for a new poll from the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

Only a few years his junior, Donald Trump raises strikingly fewer concerns about his age.

But respondents had plenty of other problems with Trump, who, at least for now, far outdistances his rivals for the Republican nomination despite his multiple criminal indictments.

Never mind his advanced years — if anything, some say, the 77-year-old really ought to grow up.

A federal judge in Atlanta is set to hear arguments Monday on whether Mark Meadows should be allowed to fight the Georgia indictment accusing him of participating in an illegal scheme to overturn the 2020 election in federal court rather than in a state court.

Here’s everything you need to know about what we’re in for.

A camera clicks. In a fraction of a second, the shutter opens and then closes, freezing forever the image in front of it.

When the camera shutter blinked inside a jail in downtown Atlanta on Thursday, it both created and documented a tiny inflection point in American life. Captured for posterity, there was a former president of the United States, for the first time in history, under arrest and captured in the sort of frame more commonly associated with drug dealers or drunken drivers. The trappings of power gone, for that split second.

Left behind: an enduring image that will appear in history books long after Donald Trump is gone.

Trump and his cronies have long been pictured at the White House and political rallies.

On the morning of Friday 25 August, the last of the 19 defendants charged as part of a criminal enterprise working to overturn the 2020 election in the state of Georgia surrendered to authorities in Fulton County.

The last to surrender was Christian pastor Stephen Lee.

As the defendants turned themselves in, they had their fingerprints and mug shots taken before being released on bond.

A Fox News contributor suggested that Donald Trump’s call to Georgia election officials asking them to “find votes” was simply a request for a recount and not an attempt to subvert the state’s election results.

In the wake of Mr Trump’s fourth indictment — this time in Fulton County, Georgia, where he is accused of trying to reverse the state’s 2020 presidential election results — Fox News contributor and George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley offered an assessment of why the charges against the former president are bogus.

“I think this is criminalizing the challenging of elections,” he said during Thursday night’s edition of Hannity on Fox News. “Basically, you have a Democratic prosecutor saying, ‘How dare you challenge a Democratic victory?’”

The right-wing host echoed many conservatives in complimenting the four-times indicted, former president over his historic booking photo.

Watters bizarrely felt compelled to say that he was complimenting Mr Trump “with an unblemished record of heterosexuality”.

A grand jury in Georgia delivered 13 felony charges against Mr Trump for his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in the state.

These charges included conspiracy to commit forgery, filing false documents, Solicitation of Violation of Oath by Public Officer.

The design of the limited-edition shirt mimics the band’s 1997 Nimrod album but with former president’s face on it.

Former president even posted course’s head golf professional’s phone number if people did not believe him.

Hearing concerns trial of ex-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows.
