Huffington Post: “When Donald Trump set about attacking Georgia governor and fellow Republican Brian Kemp this weekend for failing to fraudulently overturn Democrat Joe Biden’s victory there, he may have inadvertently revealed more details of a scheme that could land him in prison. That the former president tried to coerce Kemp into calling a special legislative session to give Trump the state’s electoral votes rather than to now-President Biden has been known publicly since shortly after their Dec. 5 phone call. But Trump during his rally in Perry, Georgia, on Saturday twice stated that he had asked Kemp to call a ‘special election’ – a request that would mesh with some of his advisers’ recommendations to him to declare martial law in a handful of states he narrowly lost and to force them to hold new elections.”
“Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has been investigating Trump’s actions since days after that Jan. 2 call. Spokesman Jeff DeSantis said Wednesday he could not comment specifically on Trump’s statements, but that ‘all acts that were potentially illegal attempts to influence the administration of the election are subject to that probe.’ Trump spokeswoman Liz Harrington said Trump meant to say ‘special session,’ not ‘special election.’ ‘He was talking about the need for a special legislative session, which had to be called by the governor,’ she said. ‘He clearly meant special session.’ Trump’s exact words, though, were ‘special election’ as he described the Dec. 5 call with Kemp. ‘Remember we wanted to call a special election,’ Trump said, and less than a minute later: ‘Brian, listen. You have a big election integrity problem in Georgia. I hope you can help us out and call a special election and let’s get to the bottom of it for the good of the country.’ “
