TRUMP MAY BE HIT WITH MULTIPLE CRIMINAL CHARGES
OVER HIS EFFORT TO OVERTURN THE ELECTION IN GEORGIA
it’s basically a full-time job keeping up with the many lawsuits, civil inquiries, and criminal probes against Donald Trump,
which, if you can believe it, surpass the number of times a human woman has agreed to marry him.
On the lawsuit front, as of March, the ex-president was facing more than two dozen,
which normal people who haven’t spent their entire lives suing or being sued thousands of times consider a lot.
the New York attorney general is currently looking into whether the Trump Organization manipulated the value of its assets for loans and tax breaks, and recently won a major victory in court.
there are the criminal investigations, which are probably at the top of Trump’s mind considering they could result in his going to prison.
there’s the one being led by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, which has already produced numerous charges against Trump’s business and longtime CFO,with more indictments expected.
he’s also under criminal investigation by the D.C. attorney general for inciting the attack on the Capitol,
Fulton County, Georgia, the D.A.’s office is looking at his attempt to overturn the 2020 election.
And according to legal experts, the latter situation may end very badly for him!
Brookings Ins ution analyzed publicly available evidence concerning Trump’s and his allies’ efforts to pressure Georgia officials to “change the lawful outcome of the election,”
concluding that the 45th president could be charged with multiple crimes.
“There’s no way I lost Georgia,”
“There’s no way.
We won by hundreds of thousands of votes.”
Trump both publicly pressured and personally contacted a number of Republican officials in the state,
including Attorney General Chris Carr and Governor Brian Kemp, to get their help in declaring him the victor.
criminal liability could extend to Trump allies as well, including Rudy Giuliani.
“criminal solicitation to commit election fraud;
intentional interference with performance of election duties;
conspiracy to commit election fraud;
criminal solicitation;
and state RICO violations,”
in addition to violations of more than a dozen other Georgia state statutes.
“Stated simply,
soliciting and then threatening senior state officials to alter the outcome of a presidential election
does not fall within any reasoned conception of the scope of presidential power.”
