WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The majority of Americans are not sure whether former US President Donald Trump can get an unbiased legal proceeding in the 2020 election meddling case in Georgia, a YouGov America poll showed.
On Monday, a Fulton County grand jury in the state of Georgia indicted Trump with 13 criminal charges related to alleged attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. The former president and 18 associates have until noon on August 25 to voluntarily surrender.

A total of 42% think that Trump has a chance for an impartial hearing.
Republicans (61%) are more likely to say Trump will not get a fair trial, while Democrats (70%) tend to trust the judicial system in the former president’s case.
