Georgia Elections Official Opens Probe Into Trump

Georgia’s secretary of state has opened a formal investigation into Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in the state, Reuters reports.

“The investigation comes after Trump was recorded in a 2 January phone call pressuring Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to overturn the state’s election results based on false voter fraud claims.”

New York Times: “Findings are typically brought before the Republican-controlled state board of elections, which decides whether to refer them for prosecution to the state attorney general or another agency.”
