MADRID, 12 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Prosecutor’s Office of the North American state of Georgia will present a new case next week against the former president of the United States Donald Trump for electoral interference during the 2020 elections, according to sources from the specialized legal newspaper ‘Atlanta Journal Constitution’.
The outlet reports that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis could present the case as early as Monday, and that both former Georgia Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan and freelance journalist George Chidi confirmed they have already been subpoenaed to testify Tuesday.
For the past two and a half years, Willis’s office has been investigating alleged efforts by Trump and his allies to overturn their defeat in the 2020 election in Georgia.
Among other aspects, the Prosecutor’s Office is investigating a recorded call on January 2, 2021 between Trump and the Republican Secretary of State for Georgia, Brad Raffensperger, during which Trump asked the official to find 11,780 votes, the number he would have needed to surpass the then President-elect Joe Biden in that state.
Experts consulted by CBS do not even rule out that Trump could end up being investigated under the RICO law, one that deals with cases of organized crime, in what would be a new unprecedented situation within the litany of investigations that the former president faces. , who has denied all the accusations against him.
Indeed, at a campaign event on Tuesday, Trump continued to insist that the phone call he and Raffensperger had was “perfect.” At the event, held in New Hampshire, Trump complained about the backlog of cases against him, adding: “I probably have another one.”
The former president has pleaded not guilty to up to four federal crimes for his alleged attempts to reverse the result of the 2020 election, in which he was outvoted by Joe Biden. After several days fanning the ghost of the pucherazo, hundreds of his followers stormed the Capitol in January 2021.
