The charges appeared on a document posted to the Fulton County court website on Monday - but it was later taken down.

Other charges listed included violation of the state's RICO act, and solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer.

The document was dated 14 August and labelled the case as "open".

It's unclear why it was removed from the website, and a spokesperson for the district attorney said it was "inaccurate" that charges had been filed.

"Beyond that we cannot comment," they added.

District Attorney Fani Willis, a Georgia prosecutor, has been investigating if Trump and his allies tried to overturn the state's election results in 2020.

Ms Willis had been expected to seek an indictment from a grand jury this week.

Reuters reported the charges on the document included: Violation Of The Georgia Rico (Racketeer Influenced And Corrupt Organizations) Act; Solicitation Of Violation Of Oath By Public Officer; Conspiracy To Commit False Statements and Writings; and Conspiracy To Commit Forgery in the First Degree.

Trump is already defending several other cases, just a year before he hopes to reclaim the presidency.

The most serious concern allegations he plotted to overturn his election loss, laying the ground for the infamous storming of the US Capitol.

He denies the claims and says they are politically motivated.

Trump's other legal troubles include allegations he kept national security documents at his Florida home when he left office.

The ex-president has again pleaded not guilty.
