Why do Georgia prosecutors want to talk to Rudy Giuliani, Lindsey Graham and other Trump allies?
- Giuliani made widespread allegations of election fraud, which were debunked.
- Sen. Graham, who called Georgia election officials twice, will fight his subpoena in court.
- Two lawyers, Eastman and Chesebro, developed the strategy to replace the state’s electors.
WASHINGTON – When Georgia election officials appeared last month before the House committee investigating the Capitol attack on Jan. 6, 2021, Atlanta-area prosecutors were surely paying close attention.
In often-dramatic fashion, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, top aide Gabriel Sterling along with election workers Shaye Moss and her mother Ruby Freeman outlined an extensive pressure campaign led by former President Donald Trump and his allies, all aimed at seeking to flip the state’s election result in the former president’s favor.
