“Ahead of former President Donald Trump’s return to Georgia, legal experts with the Brookings Institution think tank published a detailed analysis Friday of the potential criminal investigation he faces in Fulton County linked to his outspoken efforts to overturn the state’s election results. The 107-page report, written by seven legal analysts, concludes that Trump’s post-election conduct leaves him at ‘substantial risk of possible state charges predicated on multiple crimes.’ It was published a day before Trump is set to hold a rally in Perry to promote a slate of state Republican candidates” the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

“Much of the report centers on the Jan. 2 phone call between Trump and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger first reported by The Washington Post and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. During that call, Trump badgered the GOP elections official to ‘find’ enough votes to reverse his narrow defeat. But it also outlines a host of other potential criminal infractions surrounding his push to invalidate the election, including direct calls to Gov. Brian Kemp and state Attorney General Chris Carr, and efforts by his attorney Rudy Giuliani to lobby state legislators to take extraordinary action. Overall, the report said, the charges could include criminal solicitation to commit election fraud, intentional interference with performance of election duties, conspiracy to commit election fraud, racketeering and violations of more than a dozen other state statutes.”
