The Washington Post revealed that outgoing President Donald Trump threatened Georgia State Secretary Brad Ravensberger of "criminal consequences" if he did not comply with his desire to find about 12 thousand votes to turn the vote difference in his favor with his rival Joe Biden.
According to the newspaper, Trump warned the Georgia state secretary in an hour-long phone call yesterday of "criminal consequences" if he did not respond to his allegations of fraud in the state elections in order to obtain enough votes to cancel his defeat.
The American newspaper obtained a recording of the conversation that Trump began by rebuking Ravensburger, begging him to "act" and threatening him with "criminal consequences."
Throughout the call, Ravensburger and his office general counsel rejected Trump's assertions, stating that the president relies on exposed conspiracy theories and that President-elect Joe Biden's victory with 11,779 votes in Georgia was "fair and accurate."
For their part, election experts said this call "raises legal questions."
The American New York Times revealed on the twentieth of last November that Trump is preparing various scenarios and taking hysterical steps in his desperate attempt to reverse the results of the presidential elections in his favor, after the authorities in Georgia announced that the manual recount of the votes of the electorate proved the victory of his Democratic opponent, Joe Biden.
So far, Trump has refused to admit his defeat and his team has filed lawsuits in a number of pivotal states, including Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, Wisconsin and Arizona, most of which he lost at a time when there is increasing concern over the series of decisions taken by the recently outgoing president, including dismissals and appointments in the Pentagon Reflected an atmosphere tinged with much anticipation for what might happen during the transitional period before the handover of power to Biden.
