Trump, who was put on notice about “inflammatory” rhetoric by US District Judge Tanya Chutkan last week, fumed on Truth Social over a report that former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan had agreed to testify before the Fulton County panel Tuesday.

“I am reading reports that failed former Lt. Governor of Georgia, Jeff [sic] Duncan, will be testifying before the Fulton County Grand Jury. He shouldn’t,” Trump posted.

“I barely know him but he was, right from the beginning of this Witch Hunt, a nasty disaster for those looking into the Election Fraud that took place in Georgia,” the 77-year-old went on. “He refused having a Special Session to find out what went on, became very unpopular with Republicans (I refused to endorse him!), and fought the TRUTH all the way.”

[This is skating pretty close to the edge of tampering, although it probably won’t cross the line enough for prosecution. Trump would be better advised to hold off on commenting before the indictment, especially when it comes to publicly declaring that witnesses should not show up for grand jury proceedings. It only adds to the potential charges that a grand jury might produce. — Ed]
