Donald Trump Issues Strong Response on Georgia Indictment

For the first time since his Georgia indictment, his fourth in total, Donald Trump finally reacted to the accusations on camera. As expected, he dismissed the allegations as a "witch hunt" and a "horrible thing for the country."

Trump and 18 others were indicted in a sprawling and detailed RICO case where he was accused of trying to overturn the election, conspiracy, intimidating poll workers, and other crimes. However, the former president, who is also facing federal election crimes, a New York finance violation, and stealing classified documents, remained defiant.

"I have four of them now if you look. I mean, this is not even possible," said Trump during an appearance on Fox Business. "Four, over the next, last couple of months. And frankly, it discredits everything. And they're all very similar in the sense that they're, there's no basis for them."

Despite this claim, Georgia prosecutors have compiled various pieces of evidence, from his own tweets trying to discredit the election results to video evidence of his co-defendants illegally trying to access voting machines in Coffee County, Georgia.

According to Yahoo! News, Trump then called on other members of the Republican party "to be tough," adding, "The Republicans are great in many ways, but they don't fight as hard for this stuff. And they have to get a lot tougher. And if they don't they're not going to have much of a Republican Party."

Trump has since fractured the Republican Party, with MAGA Republicans remaining loyal to him while others placing much of their support on other candidates, most of whom include his biggest critics, Mike Pence and Chris Christie, the former of whom was the target of an angry mob he unleashed on January 6.

Donald Trump Had 27 Lies Listed on His Georgia Indictment

Trump's election lies have been one of the main focuses for his indictment in Georgia. CBS News recently took a look at that indictment and found that it listed 27 of the former president's various lies as he tried to reverse the election results in Georgia. Chief among them was the claim that he won the 2020 election, a claim that has been debunked in various court cases, not just in Georgia.

Trump also claimed that he won in Georgia in 2020. However, one of the biggest pieces of evidence is his "perfect phone call" with Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger where he asked him to "find" 11,780 votes for him, one more than Biden's 11,779 vote lead in the state. In that phone call, which was recorded, Trump told the secretary of state, "And the real truth is I won by 400,000 votes. At least."

His other lies include his claim of massive voter fraud in Georgia, winning other swing states despite the fact that these states have ruled in court that he lost, the supposedly mysterious drop of Georgia ballots, vote dumping in Fulton County, and many more claims that have previously been proven wrong.

FBI Joins Investigations Over Threats to Georgia Grand Jury Members

Meanwhile, the Washington Post is reporting that the FBI has joined the investigation into the "barrage of threats against Fulton County officials in recent days." This includes the leak of the names of the Fulton County grand jury members who indicted Trump.

Trump has had a history of threatening people who get in his way, from his own Vice President, Mike Pence, to news organizations and political opponents.

A spokesperson for the FBI Atlanta office stated that they are s "aware of threats of violence" against Fulton County officials. The spokesperson also noted that they are working with the Fulton County Sheriff's Office to investigate these threats. However, no specific targets were revealed, nor if anybody has already acted on those threats.
