Georgia Prosecutor Targeting Trump Bases Court Filing On Fake News

Fani Willis’s own court filings against President Trump, Sen. Lindsey Graham, and other Republicans reveal her investigation is a sham because its ‘central focus’ rests on a lie.

AGeorgia county prosecutor falsely claimed in a federal court filing last week that Donald Trump requested the Georgia secretary of state “‘find 11,780 votes’ in the former President’s favor.” This falsehood exposes the Fulton County district attorney’s “grand jury” investigation and her targeting of Trump, Sen. Lindsey Graham, and other Republicans as a sham.

In the response brief she filed last Thursday in support of the special purpose grand jury’s subpoena of Graham, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis told a Georgia federal court that “a central focus” of her investigation into the 2020 election “is former President Donald Trump’s January 2, 2021, telephone call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger requesting that the Secretary ‘find 11,780 votes’ in the former President’s favor.”

With that opening paragraph, the Fulton County Democrat revealed the hoax of an investigation she is running. Trump did not request that Raffensperger “find 11,780 votes.” Period. It never happened.

Rather, during the January 2, 2021, telephone conversation between Trump’s legal team and the secretary of state’s office, Trump’s lawyer explained to Raffensperger that “the court is not acting on our petition. They haven’t even assigned a judge,” and that “the people of Georgia and the people of America have a right to know the answers.”

During that call, Trump and his lawyers ticked off the numerous categories of illegal votes of which they had concrete evidence—some 25 categories. Trump had challenged those votes in the petition referenced by his attorney, but the court delayed the proceedings, which is why the legal team asked the secretary of state’s office to investigate the problem.

Further, as the transcript of the conversation confirmed, Trump’s legal team told Raffensperger that it had solid evidence of illegal votes easily exceeding the official margin of Biden’s victory of 11,779. Under Georgia election law, if the “evidence establishe[s ] that there are more illegal or irregular votes than the margin of victory, the remedy is a new election,” which is why Trump focused on his need to find 11,800 votes throughout his conversation with Raffensperger.
