A Fulton County court in Atlanta mistakenly released a 'sample' document some outlets shared as the returned indictment, which was quickly retracted.
As the country and the media awaited the release of court documents late Monday afternoon from an Atlanta courthouse on the fate of Trump's legal future, a mistaken filing caused quite a stir.
The Fulton County court said,"In anticipation of issues that arise with entering a potentially large indictment, Alexander used charges that pre-exist in Odyssey to test the system and conduct a trial run." When the real indictment later came through on the platform, after it was returned by a grand jury and unsealed, it was large: At over 95 pages, it listed Trump and 18 other defendants, and outlined a list of various charges for each defendant, including those foralleged violations of Georgia's RICO Act.
Later that night, Alexander could be seen on camera walking into the Atlanta courtroom with media present to hand Judge Robert McBurney a stack of papers, presumed to have been the indictment.
