Donald Trump Thrown Under the Bus by Lindsey Graham? Trump Ally Has Revealing Testimony for the Georgia Grand Jury
Lindsey Graham was forced last year to testify in front of the Georgia grand jury investigating former President Donald Trump's attempts at meddling with the state's elections. Now, a member of that grand jury has revealed details of that testimony.
An unnamed juror told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the Senator from South Carolina and a close Trump ally said, "During that time, if somebody had told Trump that aliens came down and stole Trump ballots... Trump would've believed it."
The newspaper interviewed five of the 23-member Georgia grand jury, whose report was made partially public last month. It did not name some of them, but its foreman, Emily Kohrs, who famously went on a lot of news shows around the country, was not among them.
The jurors told the paper that former Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, as well as former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and attorney Rudy Giuliani, all pleaded the Fifth at one point and refused to answer some of the questions asked of them.
However, when one of them would plead the Fifth, a prosecutor would play a video of speeches, TV interviews, or testimony that the witness had previously given somewhere else.
"I don't know if it was like cruelty, but they're like, if you're going to take the Fifth, we're going to watch you," said one of the anonymous jurors.
Donald Trump Tried to Persuade Georgia House Speaker to Overturn Elections
The jurors also revealed several pieces of evidence previously not made public. This includes then-President Donald Trump desperately trying to get the Georgia House of Representatives to convene a special session and overturn Biden's win.
According to The Guardian, one of those jurors noted that Trump tried calling the late Georgia state House speaker, David Ralston, to try and convince him that he should convene the special session. However, the juror stated that Raltson, who only died last November, "basically cut the president off" and told Trump, "I will do everything in my power that I think is appropriate," cutting the then-president off from further trying to convince him to overturn the election results.
Trump and his campaign also threatened poll workers, targeting them as the election went on. Their plight made some of the jurors emotional as they heard their testimonies.
"I was pretty emotional throughout the whole thing," one juror said. "I wouldn't cry in front of any of the witnesses, but when I would get in my car, I was like, I just left that and I have to just go do my job now? ... I just know things that are hard to know."
Georgia Grand Jury Recommended Multiple Indictments
Previously, Georgia grand jury foremen Emily Kohrs sat down with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and teased that they have recommended several big indictments.
She told the newspaper that "It's not a short list," which means that there might be a lot of indictments recommended when it comes to Donald Trump's election tampering attempts in Georgia.
The foreman also noted that the indictments would not be shocking. It should be noted that the grand jury does not have the power to indict, but they can recommend the district attorney to go after said individuals.
