“This latest co-ordinated strike by a biased prosecutor in an overwhelmingly Democrat jurisdiction not only betrays the trust of the American people, but also exposes the true motivation driving their fabricated accusations,” the BBC quoted the statement as saying.
Meanwhile, Trump has already been charged by federal prosecutors in Washington D.C. with conspiring to overturn the 2020 election, which he lost to incumbent President Joe Biden.
That charge sheet devoted significant time to the Trump team’s activities in Georgia.
Willis’ investigation focuses specifically on Georgia, a key battleground state for the US presidency that Trump narrowly lost.
In January 2021, Trump was recorded on a phone call asking Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find” 11,780 votes, the number he would have required to beat Biden in that state.
At least eight “fake electors”, who signed a bogus certificate claiming Trump won the election in that state, have reached immunity deals in the case after agreeing to interviews with Fulton County prosecutors.
