Texts and emails reportedly link Trump team to Georgia voting system breachBy Olivia Land

Georgia prosecutors investigating Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in the state are in possession of text messages and other communications that directly tie members of the former president’s legal team –including Rudy Giuliani — to a Jan. 7, 2021 voting systems breach, according to a Sunday report.
The messages could play a central part in Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ grand jury presentation this week in connection with her election fraud case against the 77-year-old current GOP presidential frontrunner, who has already faced three criminal indictment this years.
“Just landed back in DC with the Mayor huge things starting to come together! Most immediately, we were just granted access — by written invitation! — to Coffee County’s systems. Yay!” reads a Jan. 1, 2021 text message in a group chat of colleagues from Sullivan Strickler, the law firm hired by Trump’s team to examine the voting systems in the heavily Republican county, CNN reported.
Trump’s then-lawyer, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, was referred to as “the Mayor” in other messages sent by the same group, the outlet said.
Texts and other documents suggest that Trump’s team was scrambling for access to voting systems in the rural, mostly Republican county as early as mid-December, the report continued.
