In a process that judged challenges to the legitimacy of the US elections in 2020, a Georgia judge rejected six secondary charges against Republican Donald Trump, citing a “lack of details”, this Wednesday (13).
As a result, the presidential candidate, in the 2020 electoral race, lost by around 12 thousand votes in the state, being accused of requesting the tampering of the electoral result certificate.
This was the first time that the charges in any of the four criminal cases in which Trump is involved have been dismissed, with the court finding that prosecutors did not present sufficiently sustained evidence.
The six charges in question related to asking election officials to violate their oaths of office to change the outcome of the 2020 presidential election, including a phone call Trump made to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican. , on January 2, 2021.
“I just need this: I just want to find 11,780 votes, one more than we have,” Trump said during the phone call, which the Public Prosecutor’s Office understood to be abusive pressure from the president to change the electoral result.
The case accuses Trump and 18 other people of conspiring to reverse his defeat in the 2020 presidential election in that state.
In addition, the almost 100-page indictment presents data on dozens of acts committed by Trump to reverse his defeat, including the harassment of an election official and the attempt to persuade Georgia congressmen to tamper with the electoral result.
