On Friday, one day prior to former president Donald Trump’s middle-Georgia rally in Perry, the left-leaning Brookings Institution issued a more-than 100-page report on Trump.
It traces how his attempts to have Georgia’s presidential vote overturned ran afoul of Georgia law.
It also cites Trump’s infamous call to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, when Trump asked him to “find” the margin of nearly 12,000 votes he’d need to win Georgia over President Joe Biden.
A bipartisan group wrote the report – including former U.S. ambassadors, special counselors and federal prosecutors.
Former DeKalb County District Attorney Gwen Keyes Fleming is one of the report’s authors. She spoke with WABE’s “All Things Considered,” naming some of the felonies Trump could face in Georgia.
Potential charges include criminal solicitation, intentional interference with performance of election duties and conspiracy to commit election fraud.
