Former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan said Wednesday that there is more than enough evidence to charge former President Donald Trump for trying to overturn the 2020 election in the Peach State.
A day after an Atlanta prosecutor said “decisions are imminent” about charges, Duncan said he believes there is no question the former president broke the law by demanding officials “find” just enough votes to overturn his narrow 2020 loss.
“There’s enough information for him to be indicted,” Duncan said on CNN.
Duncan said Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis presented an exhaustive case to the special grand jury that has now wrapped up its probe.
“I mean, there were 75 witnesses that ranged all the way from lieutenant governors like me all the way up through folks that worked in the White House every day that were living and breathing inside the Oval Office,” Duncan said.
Willis has said she is mulling indictments against Trump and “multiple others” for a multipronged effort to reverse his loss to President Joe Biden.
The case includes Trump’s infamous call to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in which he demanded that the official declare him the victor in the battleground state.
They are also probing his effort to recruit a slate of fake electors to cast doubt on Biden’s win.
An Atlanta judge is mulling whether to make public the grand jury report which recommends whether to charge Trump and anyone else.
Willis pleaded for more time to decide on indictments before the report is made public, saying it could disrupt the probe and potentially endanger the rights of defendants.
