it has just departed his residence in bedminster, new jersey. we watched the president leave the house and get into a black suv that's in the motorcade now winding its way through new jersey, headed to newark international airport. the president will then fly to washington, d.c. where he will appear in federal court here to face an arraignment. coming up in the 3:00 hour, want to reset so people joining us now know what we are looking at. jonathan, while i have you here, can you talk to me about the additional co-conspirators, six total in this case. i want to know how the potential charges against the other co-con speerors may or may not impact charges that trump himself is facing. >> i think the department of justice clearly would like one of these co-conspirators to flip, could be part of the reason they weren't indicted. another reason is if you indict a lot of co-conspirators, you make it difficult to get the trial before the election. but i think they clearly hope at least one of these individuals could end up supporting the government as

cnn's christin holmes is live for us in bedminster, new jersey. she's live where trump and his team are gathered. mr. trump just announced he will be arrested at 7:30 p.m. eastern this evening. what are you hearing from his team right now? >> reporter: let's walk through what this will look like. we expected him to leave, right behind me, in the next hour. he will drive to what is expected to be the newark airport. that's when he left for arraignment in washington, d.c. earlier this month, and go to atlanta. we are told this is a straight shot. this is a very quick trip. they will be closing down roads to make this as fast as possible. all of this will be part of the negotiations between president trump and local law enforcement to make sure that trump gets in and out of the city as quickly as possible. atlanta is a city that can have a major traffic build-up so that's how they ended up with this time. we are told that he is going to possibly give remarks on the tarmac after he is processed. he walked a little through that processing. will he be f

he's made the short drive from bedminster. flight and then a ten minute drive to the courthouse. and there he is with his suit and red tie. ascending the steps to his private jet. and will be flying the very short flight to washington reagan national airport. and then the drive over to the courthouse, which you know well. you have been living in washington most of your life and covering all of the big stories, andrea. >> i feel like i have been living at the airport, at reagan national. >> we have both served our time there. >> back with us is andrew weissmann and chuck rosenberg. chuck, we heard what john had to say. he raised a couple points about, you know, possible defenses here as well. >> that's right. look -- >> he name checked you. let's just say that. >> fair enough. there are always defenses, whether or not there are compelling defenses or successful defenses is a completely different matter. >> is there a prospect this trial which is so momentous, could start earlier than the mar-a-lago case? >> i hope so because in

i'm in bedminster near the former president's golf club. his motorcade will be passing near here to head to newark airport, where he will travel to washington, d.c. for his 4:00 p.m. court appearance. now my colleague kristen holmes and i learned that donald trump will be traveling with his senior campaign advisers, people like steven chung and also some of his attorneys. that includes todd blanche, who we're told is also expected to appear with donald trump in court this afternoon. now they know what is likely to transpire in court. this is the third time in months now that donald trump has gone through this type of court appearance. so they know what they are walking into, but i also want to just talk to you about donald trump's mood heading into today. i spent the last several days now speaking with donald trump's advisers and his aids. they tell me that he is very concerned about this indictment. he recognizes the seriousness of these charges, but he's also quite frustrated about having to go through all of this yet again. >> thank you

going back to his place in bedminster.ty. what's your thoughts about those charges, these indictments and how it factors into this race? >> well, i think this is like i say the biden administration loves it when we're talking about indictments. because then they don't have to talk about their horrible track record on national security. putin wouldn't even invade ukraine if we hadn't let all of western europe get dependent on russian energy and the biden administration says bee latedly we will put sanctions on russian energy. russian energy selling 20%, 30% off the world market who is buying it? china. biden is helping china get energy at 20%, 30% off. every farmer i know in north dakota or iowa would like to get diesel at 20 to 30% off. not this administration. it is a complete distraction. and, of course, the other person that loves it in addition to biden is china. china loves it when we are fighting within ourselves here as opposed to really focusing on them. focusing on russia and iran and north korea real enemies, in

before getting on the plane back to bedminster new jersey saying -- echoing the message we have heardm him all along he has posted on his social network that this is political persecution. just to bring you in as we see the former president getting back on his plane as he is heading backo new jersey. the short statement. your initial reaction to that. >> it was a short statement and it will be -- and as we heard from the former president many times in recent days and months he has been trying to paint these charges as well as the other charges he is facing as politically motivated. he has been painting the special counsel jack smith and the white house and president biden as trying to leverage the u.s. justice department and use these charges to try to affect the upcoming election. of course donald trump is the front runner for the 2024 republican nomination. despite all of the legal cases he continues to hold a strong lead over his nearest rival and the latest polling we are seeing coming out today puts him that can with president biden. if we can turn to what we saw today in the cou

. >> we have team coverage for trump's bedminster, new jersey, home. walk us through what's actually going to happen on the ground there in d.c. today. >> reporter: phil and poppy, donald trump won't be expecting to be stepping foot outside of the courthouse on these grounds that are so close to the u.s. capitol where he had that riot after the election, the rally after the election that turned into a riot. he'll be coming into d.c. there will be some minor or at least short-term traffic disruptions. not a lot of parking here. barriers up. so it's going to be quite a fortres-like situation down here at the courthouse. at the time of this arraignment which is scheduled for 4:00 p.m. in the afternoon. when this happens, donald trump will be brought into the courthouse and he'll be taken up into the very areas where he'll be arrested and then where he'll be presented before the magistrate judge to face these charges for the first time related to january 6th. it's very likely many members of the special counsel's office will be in the courtroom with him. j

a live look in bedminster. another round. the former president is now on his way to georgia.ey earlier. he said he thinks the case against some of those that were indicted in the 19 are stronger in this situation than the case against the former president. so we will see what happens. we're also going to see if they do a mug shot. they did mug shots of rudy guliani and mark meadows. pretty stunning to see the white house chief of staff in a mug shot. there's more to come on this. we'll stay tuned and cover it for you. great to be with you this afternoon. thanks for joining us. that is "the story" for this thursday. story goes on. i'll see you back here tomorrow. it's the day they call friday. "your world" is next. >> the climate change agenda is a hoax. >> whoa, whoa, whoa. >> it's a hoax. we have to -- >> i have had enough already tonight of a guy who sounds like chat gpt standing up here and the last person in one of these debates that stood in the middle of the stage and said what does a skinny guy with an odd last name doing up here

right now we believe he overnighted in bedminster. the idea is apparently the u.s. marshals are going to escort the plane once it arrives at national. he will probably be in that building 3:00 or 4:00 this afternoon, then he will be promptly processed. the big question is after the arraignment, will he return to bedminster like he did last time and have a press conference. last time he had a big fundraiser. >> ainsley: he stopped at the big cuban restaurant in florida. >> brian: maybe the hotel that he. >> steve: somebody else owns it now. >> ainsley: used to be the old post office or library. >> steve: post office and now a waldorf astoria. >> brian: why not make it a post office again. >> ainsley: no president has ever been hit with criminal charges like this. there is nothing in the constitution, actually, that bars him from seeking office if he is convicted. he is facing 641 years if convicted on 78 felony charges. >> brian: right. good luck with that first time being accuse much doing anything in office. mar-a-lago after. the alvin bragg case before. >> this is

so he could do it remotely from his club in bedminster. however, we know that the former president, of course, is the kind who wants to show up in person, of course, as you know, jake, every one of these things have been used by him to do more fundraising. and so we know that one of the conversations that has happened already, between the special counsel and the former president's legal team is how they would do this. they've offered him the option of doing a zoom presentment or first appearance, we anticipate, jake, that the former president will want to do this in person. again, simply because that is how he's done all of the others. >> evan, thank you so much. >>> as mr. trump huddles with his advisers for yet another potential indictment to be filed, this one by special counsel jack smith, kristin holmes is tracking this from bridgewater, new jersey, just down the road from trump's bedminster golf club where donald trump is right now. kristin, what are we hearing about how donald trump is planning to respond if an indictment does, in f

there are a whole lot of things going on, he's already back in bedminster. so what is next? >> so, one of the first things that he is done today is to shake up his legal team. you know, he hired lawyers, he's very capable, it's well-known in atlanta, he is going to be good for the former president now that he is going to be facing a real trial, it appears in atlanta. it was something that he needed so the next thing that we expect is that mr. say tao is going to start doing the lawyer doing, and he's going to try to pick off weaknesses in this case, that the dea has presented. we're going to get the first look we're going to get a little bit of an inkling of where this is going on monday, where mark meadows has made the move to try to get this trial, this case brought from state court to the federal courts. and the federal judge is holding a hearing on monday, and we are going to sort to see for the first time a test of that argument. she, the dea fani willis, is going to present things like the infamous phone call where the former president was pressing georgia facials to f

>>> donald trump is set to depart his bedminster residence soon in route to fulton county where he saysp's former attorney and the special counsel investigation's tim par parlatore. it's great to have you. because you've been in the room and been a part of the team and left the team, i would love to get your thoughts on what might have been going on with this changing of attorneys this morning hours before donald trump is surrendering? >> well, it's really difficult to tell. i mean, the georgia legal team was always kind of kept compartmentalized away from us so we didn't have as much dealings with them, but, you know, it is something that you do sometimes see when an indictment comes down to all of a sudden switch attorneys right at the end. i mean, i don't think it's any knock on mr. findling, he's a phenomenal attorney, and you know, i think that the new guy that he's bringing in looks like he's very capable and, you know, very able to handle the specifics of a rico defense. >> do you think it's because findling didn't want to be a part of it? was he pushed out? did he resign? is the

he will then turnaround and fly back home to bedminster.ged co—conspirators, but none of them have been charged. the group, includes four attorneys, a former department ofjustice official and a political consultant, that allegedly aided trump's "criminal efforts". analysts believe they are former trump lawyers rudy giuliani, john eastman, and sidney powell, along with former doj official jeffrey clark and lawyer kenneth chesebro. a sixth co—conspirator, described in the document as a political consultant, has not been identified. the indictment comes as mr trump is leading the polls for the republican nominee for president, far ahead of his leading rival florida governor, ron desantis. the latest new york times — sienna poll puts trump in a head—to—head with incumbent democratic presidentjoe biden. if the election were today, the polls show biden claiming

recall victor earlier in the week he was supposed to have this press conference at bedminster that he scrapped as well. so it shows he is taking it very seriously. >> and if quisconvicted in new those state charges he would not be able to do away with either. if we can stay on the politics of this, he didn't make a speech, but they made $34 t-shirts that they are selling. we've seen after every indictment his polling goes up. does it go up more now? >> and that is what they are counting on. he's blurred the lines between how he fights his legal battles and how he wages his comeback bid. about an hour or so before he turned himself in, text messages that his campaign sent out saying that this is my last message to you before i'm arrested. it was a fundraising appeal. going back on x which we know is one his familiar cudgels in a general election. >> that was interesting, first time since 2021. >> exactly. and while he has truth social, this is a powerful weapon for him to again bring his base in, but also wage attacks on his rivals. >> patricia, beyond trump's accusations, the lies abo

now he's back at his bedminster golf club and that's where kristen holmes is near his estate.hearing today from the president's aids, from your sources about how he believed, really believes that yesterday went? >> i talked to a number of advisers who believe it wept as well as it could have. they are harping on the fact he got back on to twitter as one of the big surprises of the day and they told me it was a spontaneous decision. former president trump likes to do. take control of the media narrative and really capitalize on the situation when he has everyone's attention. now when it comes to that mugshot, i was told they liked the way it turned out. but many of his advisers did not actually want him to take that mugshot. they were hoping it wouldn't happen, because it's not something they can control. they like the idea they put some of these fake mugshots on merchandise and sold it. however, as you said, they fundraised off of it. they plan to continue continue fundraising off it and we believe we'll continue to hear donald trump pushing it out there. saying this is electi

cnn's alayna treene is with trump near his bedminster estate in new jersey.op front runner is not debating, as we have said. what w's he going to do tonight? >> reporter: donald trump will remain in new jersey tonight at his golf club just near where i am now. i'm told he is expected to be watching the debate tonight, as well as his own interview with former fox news host tucker carlson. that interview is going to be airing live at the same time that the debate starts at 9:00 p.m. eastern. obviously, a big move from donald trump's camp to try to counter program this. even though donald trump is here in bedminster, he normally has a lot of his top aids around him. many of those advisers are actually going to be in milwaukee, where you are, and trying to coordinate some media around the debate. they will be in the spin room really trying to get the post debate coverage. i really think the biggest upstage lg of the debate that we'll see from trump's team is when he heads to georgia tomorrow. he will be surrendering tomorrow evening. it's a day when a lot of cove

as the former president is waking up this morning after being arraigned yesterday, he' in bedminster. he did plead not guilty for the third time in a courtroom yesterday in just four months on charges st from his efforts to stay in power after he lost the 2020 election. the next hearing just a few weeks from now when a trial date will be set. lawyers indicate they will attempt to delay the trial, push it out so this sets the stage for a chaotic campaign season disrupted by court dates. we have on how trump is feeling and his plolitical positioning. sources tell kaitlan collins the former president was irked that the judge referred to him as mr. president trump rather than his presidential title and he's preparing to use the charges to revisit his election fight. >> we will relitigate every single issue in the 2020 election in the context of this litigation. >> new overnight, kevin mccarthy with a few in defense of trump equating this actions to those f al gore after their election losses. >> you are entitled to raise a question. you are sbielted to raise a question whether it was hone

so today the president will leave bedminster and head to georgia to turn himself in.er president will exploit. >> he certainly will. we keep saying this is unprecedented. this is highly precedented. this is the fourth time in five months we have been through this. he will go through the same routine. the thing to keep in mind is what's happening today is so normal. all the time, 24/7 that jaihxkz is open. people come through there and they are processed. thus far in the case to the credit of the prosecutor and the sheriffs and authorities down there, it's been by the book. it's been straight forward. so let's hope that happens. but he has fourrñg8don't know it him politically, but the stakes are different. >> his poll numbers are up after all of these indictments. they are up. they are not flat. >> it's mirror world. in one world, trying to overthrow the government is a bad idea. maybe disqualifying. in another world, he's a martyr. he's sacrificing himself on the alter of justice and truth. it's hard to understand that from this side of the table, but there are peopl

cnn's kaitlan collins tells us what the mood is like for trump in bedminster tonight, caitlin. >> yeahood that the former president was and when he left this courthouse in washington and lee see after pleading not guilty to charges against him. the second set of federal charges. i'm told he was in a sour and dejected moved by multiple people familiar with the former president's thinking. it came after he had motorcade to the courthouse, he then went in and was processed, he was fingerprinted, he went through a process pretty similar to what most other people would. it took a little bit of time. and then he went into the courtroom and, while they were in the courtroom waiting on the magistrate judge to come in, there it was essentially so quiet you could hear a pin drop and you saw jack smith sitting on one side, former president trump sitting on the other, obviously someone that trump has attacked at length. they're just 15 feet apart or so. and after that hearing and it i'm told that trump was in a -- of mood, that's a quote somebody gave me. essentially what his mindset was, unhappy

>> reporter: well, donald trump is going to return to bedminster later this afternoon.ortunity he takes to speak publicly about what happens today. in the past, we have seen him make bombastic speeches, use them to make money, rile up his base. beyond that, this is someone who, again, is the leading republican candidate for president who is now going to have to juggle three different court proceedings, three different criminal court proceedings on his calendar while he is trying to figure out how to run for president. we have seen the last couple of weeks how expensive this endeavor has been for him to defend himself, defend the people around him who have gotten caught up in the court proceedings, and also logistically fitting in these various court appearances across three cases while running for president is going to be tricky. and i think we will continue to see his defense team make the argument that things should be pushed back, things should be delayed because of his candidacy. we will see how that goes with this judge here in washington. >> all right, you guys ha

cnn's kristen holmes is in new jersey for us right near trump's bedminster resort. wolf, we are told that trump is at his bedminster resort surrounded by a small group of aides and advisers. most of his team is in milwaukee around the debate that trump is skipping. it is likely trump is going to watch at least part of the debate and the coverage. we are also told that he has been floating the idea of calling into various news networks and shows after his interview with tucker carlson airs. as we had previously reported, it is a pre-recorded interview with the former fox news host as part of this counter-programming measure. and it's likely to be about an hour and released on twitter just around the time of the debate. again, this is prerecorded so don't expect a lot of breaking news in it. but we are told there are some interesting and new conversations between the former fox host and donald trump. now, i am told by people who have spoken to the former president in recent days that he has talked extensively about his decision to skip the debate, saying he believes h

if he is sitting at his place in bedminster, and the former president is watching the television showre ron desantis and chris christie are talking about him and chris christie takes him apart as chris christie will probably do. whoever the strategist was told donald trump don't show up, i i think that guy is going to be in trouble. ultimately the former president wants to be on the stage. wants to be the center of attention and would have to be there. >> ainsley: he has to sign that rnc pac that i will support whoever is the nominee. >> steve: i read something yesterday the rnc thinks he actually would. >> ainsley: he is ahead by 30 or 40 points in every poll. >> steve: going to be a big show. it's the official launch of the big campaign. he ought to be there. >> griff: official is launch abby hornacek milking cows at the iowa state fair. already gotten under underway. >> ainsley: very important fair. >> griff: hey, abby, are you milking any morikawas out there? >> abby: i'm not milking the cow that i'm about to talk about. first off, i want to say people come to iowa state fair for

he can do this by zoom from his golf club in bedminster, new jersey., he's likely to come here and do it in person. instead, he's going to be read these charges and we expect that he's going to plead not guilty and this begins the court process. those four charges, of course, that you just read right there are what he is facing the prosecution made it clear in this 45-page indictment that the president had the right to challenge the election results and he had the right to even lie about fraud. what he did not have the right to do is to engage in these multiple conspiracies, one to defraud the united states and the government from the ability to count the votes, defrauding, obstructing the process of congress to certify the election results and of course, denying the right of millions of americans of their having their vote counted. this is how jack smith put it yesterday after the indictment had been released. >> the attack on our nation's capitol on january 6, 2021, was an unprecedented assault on the seat of american democracy. it's described in the

now, the former president is expected to travel this afternoon from bedminster, new jersey here to georgia to surrender to the fulton county sheriff's office, which means he will go inside the building and be processed just like any other defendant. the district attorney is adamant that even though he is the former leader of the free world that he will be treated just like everyone else in this case. that includes fingerprints and possibly expected right now it is expected that he will have his mugshot taken. that's significant because in his federal cases and in his manhattan cases he did not have a mugshot taken. they decided they didn't need it because they're usually used if someone goes on the run to identify them. he's obviously one of the most famous people in the world and they wouldn't need it for that. but here at this point we do expect to have a mugshot taken. he's only expected to be in georgia for about two hours before getting on a plane back to new jersey. there's already an increased security presence here, jim, and our colleagues reporting that we expect more resources fr

cnn's kristen holmes is in bedminster, new jersey, tracking all of this.kristen, what is donald trump's state of mind this morning, as he's about to fly to atlanta? >> well, i've talked to a number of advisers who say that trump has been fixated on the debate from last night. that he has been talking about his polls, that this was something that he was actually concerned about. if he made the right decision or not when it came to skipping the debate. and he said he's been feeling very good about that decision. he didn't feel that there were any breakout stars. but of course, when it comes to actually going to atlanta. and this is something that donald trump does, he compartmentalizes. this is not something he wants to be doing. he does not want to be involved or charged. he's made that clear. he spent some of the day lashing out at fani willis, the district attorney there. we do expect to see him fairly soon. he'll be headed to atlanta, where he will be processed in that jail. and i'm told that this is the product of multiple negotiations back and forth tu

he is in bedminster, new jersey. know he will be watching the interview with tucker carlsen, which will get tens of millions of years. >> jason miller, senior advisor with the trump campaign, thank you for joining us. turning to georgette now where more people accused of conspiring with donald trump to try to overturn the 2020 election have turned themselves in. former president trump, meanwhile, said he will hand himself into authorities on thursday. the latest to surrender was david schaefer, is the as ray smith. and the george abela bondsman and lawyer john eastman turned himself in. sidney powell also surrendered earlier on wednesday, but rudy giuliani is also surrendered. he is accused of advancing claims that the 2020 election was stolen. along with mr. trump, the former mayor faces the most charges of the defendants. speaking after his arrest, giuliani criticized the district attorney prosecuting him. >> fanni willis will go down in american history as having conducted one of the worst attacks on the american

he'll be able to leave the courthouse, be able to head back, presumably, to bedminster where he's been staying, and he'll be able to go back to his life. then the defense on these extraordinary and historic charges for him begins in earnest. >> and tom, we have been watching as you have been talking. the president's motorcade leaving the airport. this is a pool camera crew, so one network camera inside one of those suvs that you saw at the airport. they flew here with him. they're getting into the -- they have got a camera obviously in the front seat looking through the windshield. looks like the gw parkway, he's going to be taking this highway to one of the bridges crossing over into the city and he'll be blocks away. andrew, this is a city that has witnessed every harrowing moment from the january 6th attack, the trump team plans to argue that they can't get a fair trial here. so we have talked about the voir dire, the jury being selected, the judge. what are your thoughts as he heads towards his arraignment where none of that will take place today. but in moving towards trial here,

. >> that trump is back at bedminster new jersey tonight with -- anderson cooper joining us this, oure tapper kaitlan collins -- where he was arraigned for a third time this afternoon. >> and that course house is just epps away from the u.s. capitol, which of course will storm by the violent mob of trump supporters, two and a half years ago it was protected today by members of law enforcement, and metro police department which came under direct attack, and charged in connection with that attack could safely enter a plea. >> and, jake, inside that courthouse behind me, you can process and plead not guilty, federal magistrate judge did set the next court date for the 28th just a few weeks from now that is when it is expected a trial date will be set. also, learning tonight trump left here in a sour and -- according to someone who spoke to him and came after a motorcade through that traffic had that process and went to the tarmac where he was expected to take as he held the summer that was handed to him by his co defendant in the documents case the former president then said this. >> whe

this is people like laura loomer, who accompanied the president at his new jersey bedminster golf course president praising him and speaking publicly about how much time she spent with him. this is someone who is well known for having islam phobic views and has espoused conspiratorial theories and, again, associated with sort of figures who are notorious for espousing hateful ideology. there are other people who have been reoccurring figures in trump's past, people like roger stone who was pardoned by former president trump, dick morris, a long time adviser who is speaking with the former president more and more, but essentially a lot of these figures who are encouraging the former president to revert to his worst instincts and lash out in ways that some on the inside of the trump campaign feel is counter productive to his current presidential campaign. >> i think in some ways tied to this reporting trump has been building a cadre of people around him who are kro cronies, basically trump is pretending to be a mobster, writing that trump lacks a code, loyalty, and a gangster sense of nobi

former us president donald trump is on his way home to bedminster, newjersey, from georgia right now,ction results in georgia. he arrived at the jail in a long motorcade of police and emergency vehicles, and after 25 minutes inside a fulton countyjail mr trump was released on $200,000 bail. a plea is expected at a later date.

reportedly had to are travel to bedminster to ask trump for money to cover legal fees. what do you make of his role as this trial gets underway. >> he's charged with 13 counts. the same as trump. he is in huge trouble. not only is he in factual trouble because everybody is going to pile on, frankly -- everybody below piles on as it goes up, right? we're already beginning to sea that finger pointing. we have mr. shaeffer already pointing his fingers up to the trump lawyers. everybody will be looking at giuliani. he's a natural target for everyone else. he has a factual problem. he has a huge financial problem, he's now having to go to trump to beg for money. if he has to beg trump for money to do this fundraiser to help pay for his fees, that makes him beholden to trump, which makes him not able to be as independent as he needs to be to protect himself in any way, shape, or form. so he is in big trouble in georgia, and i would expect eventually he's also going to be indicted in d.c. by jack smith. >> and dave, we just got this reporting that vaughn mentioned from a sourc

that can take place. >> it is kind of amazing, he's on tape talking about things, you know, in bedminster. obviously that didn't concern him before, now obviously in the legal context it's different. in the jack smith federal election interference case, prosecutors had obtained access to trump's twitter account without him knowing about it. what more do you know about that? >> this is part of the evidence gathering phase that took place, now we know, in january and february early this year. so the special counsel's office, they got a search warrant for donald trump's twitter account so that they could get the evidence directly from twitter, information connected to his account, whether that's public tweets or things that might be metadata or even direct messages, what are called fleets, the stories that disappear, things behind the scenes. and when they asked for that, they believed that they would find evidence of a crime in his twitter account data. they went to a judge, a judge approved of that. they were laying out what the crimes were at that time. and then on top of it, they also wa

the former president says he will show irrefutably on monday at his resort in bedminster that there was fraud in the georgia election. that is despite the fact that for three years, he and his partisans have been unable to prove that and that his efforts to make that case have led to his indictment in what is alleged in atlanta to have been conspiracy by at least 19 people, including trump, to overturn the georgia election. rudolph giuliani was also a codefendant. he called the indictment an affront to democracy, but the republican government of georgia has said that is not the case and the election was legally decided, that trump has been falsely making claims, and brian kemp says the state of georgia will continue to have honest elections as long as he is governor. president trump's strategy seems to suggest he was not engaging in an illegal scheme, he believed the election to be wrongly decided, and he was honestly speaking out. he's accused of a number of things beyond making false statements. he is accused of signing false documents. he's accused of orchestrating a campaign where a
