Lawyers for Georgia’s former Republican Party chair are again trying to fend off their client’s possible indictment into possible criminal interference with the 2020 presidential election.
Ex-GOP chair David Shafer was within his constitutional rights when he cast an “alternate” Electoral College ballot for then-President Donald Trump and therefore should not be criminally charged, Shafer’s lawyers told Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
The attorneys made their case in 13-page letter sent to Willis on July 18. Willis is expected to seek an indictment against several individuals in August, and she has previously identified Shafer as one of the targets of her investigation.
