Donald Trump On GA Phone Calls: “I Did Absolutely Nothing Wrong”

As the Georgia grand jury issued a portion of its final findings into the criminal investigation of Trump and his associates, Donald Trump reiterated his innocence.

Trump defended his phone discussions with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, claiming he “did absolutely nothing wrong.”

“The long-awaited significant portions of the Georgia report, which do not even mention President Trump’s name, have nothing to do with the President since President Trump did absolutely nothing wrong,” President Trump stated Thursday in an official statement.

According to the National Review, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ criminal investigation of President Trump arises from a January 2021 election integrity phone discussion between the president and Raffensperger. Trump reportedly directed Raffensperger to “find” additional votes, which would have altered the state’s presidential election results.

Trump has categorically rejected all wrongdoing.

“The President participated in two perfect phone calls regarding election integrity in Georgia, which he is entitled to do – in fact, as President, it was President Trump’s Constitutional duty to ensure election safety, security, and integrity,” the statement continued, maintaining that the calls were above suspicion.

He continued, “Between the two calls, there were many officials and attorneys on the line, including the Secretary of State of Georgia, and no one objected, even slightly protested, or hung up.”

According to The Epoch Times, The Washington Post revealed audio sections of the hour-long call, revealing President Trump’s accusations of severe election irregularities in the state, which Raffensperger refuted.

Prior to the conversation’s revelation, President Trump tweeted: “I spoke with Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger yesterday concerning Fulton County and voting fraud in Georgia. He refused or was unable to answer questions about the ‘ballots under table’ swindle, ballot destruction, out-of-state ‘voters,’ deceased voters, and other issues. He has no idea!”

“A majority of the Grand Jury believes that perjury may have been committed by one or more witnesses testifying before it,” the report stated. “The Grand Jury recommends that the District Attorney seek appropriate indictments for such crimes where the evidence is compelling.”

Despite this, sections of the grand jury’s long-awaited final report were made public on Thursday, showing that some of the 75 witnesses who provided sworn evidence may have committed perjury, according to Reuters.
