They name. But certainly the former president s team has spent the day bracing for bad news. They appear to believe that this could potentially reference him. That his name could be one of those on those ten indictments that were returned. Theyve issues taken just a few moments ago. Lashing out at the District Attorney, fani willis here. Something that we have seen the former president doing repeatedly on social media in recent days. They are actually accusing them of Election Interference. Which we should note is, of course, ironic given that what the heart of the indictments potentially. Lets go back to cnn sarah murphy who has been outside the courthouse in atlanta all day. Sarah, obviously we are waiting to see when we are going to potentially hear from baku District Attorney, fani willis, that trump has been attacking here. Whats the latest that you have heard . , thats right, i mean, she is still expected to make remarks to the press this evening. But obviously they want to get t
has the soldiers taken over. and if he didn t specifically delegate that down to her, she may run into a problem jurisdictionally read from beginning whether she threw exceeded her 30 as accounting to secretary. a lot of interesting issues here. yeah, and obviously we ll await the a lot of the issues about georgia, we saw it play out in realtime. we saw because brad raffensperger in the secretary of state s office, someone in that state s office recorded the phone call of donald trump calling him and asking him to find, quote unquote, find 11,780 votes, one more than joe biden s margin of victory over him. we know from reporting of the fraudulent electors, we know that from a judge s ruling last fall that after john eastman s emails were obtained, that
still gets lawyers, he still gets the chance to precipitate. but regular ordinary people can say, this is the law, and it has to be followed. if we cannot defend our basic system, i think we are in trouble? anderson, if i could. anderson. go ahead, alyssa. there is precedent in georgia for having had cameras in courtrooms for trials similar to this, which i know that we are expecting the federal cases. so i do think that that could have a noticeable impact on the public s perception. if they actually are able to see this case, assuming the indictment comes down, see it play, outside the facts, to see exactly what this actual conspiracy would look like and this effort to steal the election would look like. i do think that that could change some hearts and minds. david? yeah, so anderson, i agree with van, i think van makes a very valid point. it is troubling that half of america can have see this as just and righteous and the other half sees this isn t just an undue righte
you asked the question earlier why georgia? that phone calls one of the big answers to that question. another one, and also relevant to lindsey graham, is that fani willis in 2001 opens this investigation and starts 2021. that s right, 2021. looks into rumors of meddling in georgia and she doesn t get to cooperation, principally from the federal officials who she reaches out to four interviews. people like lindsey graham. and that is what compels her to the special grand jury. it is the only grand jury that has investigative capability and the state of jarreau georgia, and that grand jury really turbochargers her investigation into this malfeasance that of course result in the recommendation to pursue an indictment, which is why we have the conclusion of the regular grand marais
about making sure that these indictments avoid process before they put her in front of the camera to talk about what may happen with this grand jury. based on what you said, there are other cases that they heard when it s possible that some of those indictments or in other cases? that s waiting find out, that this grandeur has been meeting mondays and tuesday s four weeks in the normal cases they hear murders, armed robberies, that kind of thing. so they may have heard a couple of those kinds of cases before they turned to the trump election interference case. it is possible that when you get through the stack of indictments that some of those are involved in totally unrelated cases. donald trump and his allies. again, we re waiting to get more information on that and we are waiting to see how many of these indictments could pertain to the former president, to his associates, to these efforts to try to overturn the 2020 election in georgia. we are still expecting fani
