President Trump devoted much of his speech at a rally in Georgia on Monday to repeating baseless voter-fraud claims and attacking the state officials who refused to help him overturn the election. Photo: Alex Wong/Getty Images President Trump made a second, earlier call to attempt to pressure a Georgia election official to help him overturn Joe Biden’s narrow victory in the state, the Washington Post confirmed on Saturday.
The Post has not named the Georgia official out of concern that he could be targeted with threats by allies and supporters of the president. Raffensperger, who alluded to the earlier call in an interview this week, told the Post on Friday that “he was not familiar with the specifics of what the president said in the conversation with his chief investigator, but said it was inappropriate for Trump to have tried to intervene in the case,” commenting, “That was an ongoing investigation.
Trump’s attempts to pressure Georgia election officials may put the president in legal jeopardy, and he may have committed obstruction by calling the investigator — but as the Post explains, proving Trump broke the law would likely be difficult:
He said if you just look. You easily find the fraud. Just look.. they didn't look obviously.. Now we are a full on fascist country. Awesome china helped by releasing covid from a lab. btw thanks for telling the truth that democrats and China murdered millions to get done
Since when truth is pressure? Damn communists!!!
🤣🤣🤣
Good, to bad the investigator was on CNN payroll. Gas prices will continue to rise, peace in the Middle East will deteriorate and small businesses will start to close. you all backed the wrong horse but it is now too late.
