The Georgian Fulton County Clerk of Courts Office has admitted that it posted an indictment against former President Donald Trump on Monday in error. This happened prior to the grand jury’s choice to officially prosecute him and 18 other people.
Ché Alexander, the Clerk of Superior and Magistrate Courts in Fulton County, acknowledged committing an error as a result of the pressure to guarantee that the indictments go well.

Who is Ché Alexander?
Ché Alexander is the Clerk of Superior and Magistrate Courts in Fulton County, where former US President Donald Trump and his 18 aides were indicted.
The Fulton County Court’s website accidentally posted a document on Monday afternoon outlining the same charges as those found in the indictment that was formally unsealed later that night. These accusations included violations including breaking the Georgia RICO Act (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act), soliciting fake documents from a public official, and other allegations.

After the document surfaced, the Fulton County Court removed it from its website and released a statement calling the document “fictitious.” They advised the media that any documents that did not include an authorized case number, filing date, or the name of the Clerk of Courts should not be taken seriously or viewed as official filings.
Alexander while defending herself in the media said, “I am only human,” and said that she planned to provide the records to the public quickly. “That’s how the mistake occurred,” she said.
She claimed that she had no personal stake in the outcome of the case, responding to claims that District Attorney Fani Willis’ indictments were made for political reasons. I was running a trial run inside the system, she clarified. The press queue was accidentally accessed when I hit “save.” She also said that after the blunder, her office had received threatening phone calls and emails.
