US Courts Just Ruled Against Donald Trump In Georgia Case—He Must Be Freaking Out!
December 6, 2022 by Maria Pierides
Donald Trump’s legal woes are going from bad to worse, as he’s just been hit with another bombshell; this time as a spate of court rulings have rejected claims by the former president and some of his allies for executive privilege preventing them from testifying in court. Omg!
The US Justice Department and a special Georgia grand jury have been investigating whether the 76-year-old twice-impeached former president broke the law as he desperately tried to overturn the results of the 2020 election; and now several key Trump backers as well as ex-administration lawyers, such as ex-chief of staff Mark Meadows and legal adviser John Eastman, will no longer be able to avoid testifying before grand juries in Washington DC and Georgia. Specifically they are wanted regarding their knowledge of – or roles in – Trump’s mission to block Biden’s route to the White House with false claims of fraud.
Following these court decisions, Meadows, Eastman, Lindsey Graham and others will be forced to testify before the Georgia grand jury working with the Fulton County district attorney, who are focussing on the efforts of Trump and his allies to put pressure on the Georgia Secretary of State, amongst other officials, to deny Biden his crucial win there.
As well as trying to dodge giving testimony in court, Trump has had courts rule against him for the hundreds of classified documents that were taken to his Florida Mar-a-Lago resort when he left office, helping an investigation into whether he broke laws by holding onto documents that should have gone to the National Archives. There is also the January 6th committee pursuing him for testimony regarding his supporters’ attacks on the Capitol last year. He was meant to appear in court but did not show up, instead filing a lawsuit seeking to avoid having to give testimony or provide any documentation supporting the committee’s investigation.
