The investigation into Trump’s efforts in Georgia to overturn the 2020 presidential election has ramped up, with his former lawyer Rudy Guiliani and Senator Lindsey Graham subpoenaed by the County.
Key to the investigation is Trump’s call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, whom he pressured to ‘find’ him more votes.
He told Raffensperger, also a Republican, during an hour-long call on January 2 last year:
‘What I want to do is this. I just want to find, uh, 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have, because we won the state.’
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and her team are looking into whether Trump and his allies illegally tried to pressure Georgia state officials into declaring him the victor, despite him having lost to Biden.
‘BOTH of my phone calls to Georgia were PERFECT. I had an absolute right to make them.’
‘I, as does anyone else (just look at the Democrats!), have the absolute right to challenge the results of an Election. This one, CORRUPT, RIGGED, & STOLEN!’
In a follow up post, the former president continued: ‘I did NOTHING wrong in Georgia, but others did.’
‘They CHEATED in the 2020 Presidential Election, and those are the ones that should be investigated (and prosecuted)!’
