UPDATE: Hours after a two-page docket listing criminal charges against Donald Trump was posted on—then quickly vanished from—the Fulton County court’s website, the court clerk called it “fictitious”

listing criminal charges against Donald Trump was posted on—then quickly vanished from—the Fulton County court’s website, the court clerk called it “fictitious” in a statement that seemed to raise more questions than it answered. Clerk Che Alexander cast doubt on the veracity of the document, first spotted on Monday morning by Reuters, but did not elaborate on how or why it had appeared on the court’s website.

A spokesperson for the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office earlier told Reuters that its report was “inaccurate,” but refused to elaborate further. The document, which listed more than a dozen charges, including racketeering and conspiracy, bore an official case number, was dated Aug. 14, and listed the case status as “open.” The mysterious filing and the flurry of speculation that followed came as a grand jury deciding whether to hand down an indictment began hearing evidence in the case.
