A list of criminal charges against former US President Donald Trump in Georgia has been published then deleted.
Prosecutors said Trump had not been indicted as part of the investigation into the 2020 presidential election.
The latest charges appeared as part of a court document posted to the Fulton County court website before being taken down shortly, according to Reuters.
It followed earlier speculation that he may face racketeering charges in the US state.
Trump continues to deny the claims, having previously labelled similar claims against him a politically motivated "witch-hunt".
According to the now-deleted document, the US state of Georgia appeared to bring further charges, including racketeering and conspiracy and false statements.
The charges were listed in a now deleted two-page docket report.
It comes as Georgia's district attorney was expected to bring multiple charges against more than a dozen defendants - one of which was expected to include the former president, according to The Guardian.
A spokesperson for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who is leading the investigation into Trump, said the report of charges was “inaccurate” but declined to comment further.
The news comes soon after the former president praised an anti-Muslim conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer over the weekend.
It's but the latest dramatic twist in the Trump saga, after the former president gatecrashed a wedding at his New Jersey golf club hours after pleading not guilty to attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential results.
