The Georgia Secretary of State's office has formally launched an investigation into former President Donald Trump's phone calls to state election officials in which he sought help to overturn the results of the election after President Joe Biden's narrow victory was certified twice.
Investigations by the secretary of state's office can take months to complete, but it marked a major development on the eve of Trump's second impeachment trial. The single article of impeachment against the president, which accuses him of inciting the deadly riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6, briefly mentions the phone call with the secretary.
Trump's impeachment lawyers defended Trump's actions on the call in a brief submitted to the House the last week and"denied that President Trump acted improperly in that telephone call in any way." In a statement sent to ABC News on Monday, Jason Miller, Trump's senior adviser, said,"There was nothing improper or untoward about a scheduled call between President Trump, Secretary Raffensperger and lawyers on both sides. If Mr. Raffensperger didn't want to receive calls about the election, he shouldn't have run for Secretary of State. And the only reason the call became public was because Mr. Raffensperger leaked it in an attempt to score political points.
CeciliaVega That would be the ideal republican strategy.
CeciliaVega Thankfully, the Biden Administration can walk and chew gum at the same time. The Republicans didn't worry about getting other things done when they spent years on HRC's emails. They can take several seats while Trump's impeachment for insurrection is presented to the nation.
Individual one shouldn't be the only politician on trial.
If they have so much proof to prove what they claim, why don’t they have the Justice Department look at it. Have him what’s the phrase “look him up”.
Footage independent you tubers are getting demonetized for. Hmm doesn’t seem fair, does it? bigtechfascism
You mean all the evidence showing the left using words of violence towards Trump? Like when Coumo said he would like to deck the president? When Harris said there should be unrest in the streets and bail them out too? 🙄🤭
Doesn’t change anything. Still unconstitutional.
I really hope they have something up their sleeves because this conviction has to happen.
Impeach trump , lifetime loser . This man is a dictator, fascist no place in the USA for this lier as head of government , keep him in the business world . Better yet put him in jail for a lifetime.
