january 6th investigation in recent weeks. the interview of rudy giuliani finally, right? he s a key figure in former president trump s effort to overturn the 2020 election and then today the georgia secretary of state brad raffensperger, i want to remind people why he is so key here. let s take a listen to a brief cliff from the january 2021 call between trump and the secretary of state. so, look, all i want to do is this i just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have because we won the state. so raffensperger is not only a witness in the special counsel probe. he is also a key witness in the state level investigation. we expect the d.a., fani willis down there to make some sort of announcement about any potential charges she ll bring in august and it appears that special counsel jack smith could be on a similar time line to announce any charging decisions this summer. we are also hearing once again from former president trump responding to our excl
