Trump could face multiple criminal charges over his phone call to Georgia officials to help him overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 election win

Donald Trump could face multiple criminal charges for his attempts to overturn his loss in Georgia during the 2020 presidential election, according to a report by the Brookings Institute Think-tank.

The report revealed that ‘the Georgia electoral process and vote count was subjected to sustained assault’ by Trump and his allies as they attempted to ‘change the lawful outcome of the election.’

The DC-based institute concluded that Trump and some of his allies, including Rudy Giuliani, could be charged with election fraud, intentional interference with an election official’s performance of election-related duties, and conspiracy.

The report also suggest that they could be charged with an array of election misconduct such as false statements in connections with official matters, attempts to influence government officials in improper ways, and solicitation of action violative of public officer oaths.

During the January 2 phone call, Trump repeatedly argued that Raffensperger could change the certified results, an assertion the secretary of state firmly rejected.

‘All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have,’ Trump said. ‘Because we won the state.’ Biden was ahead of Trump by 11,779 votes at the time, and ultimately carried the state by that margin.

‘There’s no way I lost Georgia,’ Trump insisted. ‘There’s no way. We won by hundreds of thousands of votes.’

The former president’s senior advisor, Jason Miller, told DailyMail.com there was nothing unusual about the call, suggesting there is no need for an investigation.

‘There was nothing improper or untoward about a scheduled call between President Trump, Secretary Raffensperger and lawyers on both sides,’ Miller said.

‘If Mr. Raffensperger didn’t want to receive calls about the election, he shouldn’t have run for Secretary of State,’ he continued. ‘And the only reason the call became public was because Mr. Raffensperger leaked it in an attempt to score political points.’

Georgia’s secretary of state office is currently in its seventh month of a criminal investigation into the notorious phone call.

The report from the Brookings Institute also cited other instances when Trump contacted other Georgia officials to help him overturn his loss, including Governor Brian Kemp and Attorney General Chris Carr.
