American Liberty News previously reported on the latest revelations from the grand jury probe of the former president and potential 2024 Republican nominee:

According to a new report in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, prosecutors under Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis may have a trump card in their special grand jury probe into interference in Georgia‘s 2020 presidential election results.

Former U.S. Attorney Harry Litman said the “incendiary” sounding evidence empowers Willis, described by colleagues as a “pit bull in the courtroom,” to go “big” with her charges.

Igor Derysh of the Journal-Constitution first revealed how the grand jury listened to a previously unheard phone call involving Trump and then-Georgia House Speaker David Ralston (R), where Trump pushed Ralston to convene a special session and reverse Joe Biden‘s certified win.

Speaking to a local news station the following day, he said that Trump would like a “special session of the Georgia General Assembly. He's been clear on that before and he was clear on that in the phone conversation yesterday. You know I shared with him my belief that based on the understanding I have of Georgia law that it was going to be very much an uphill battle.”
