00:00:07.447 --> 00:00:08.448
>>> A criminal investigation in

00:00:08.448 --> 00:00:09.449
to former president trump is

00:00:09.449 --> 00:00:10.883
entering a new phase in Georgia.

00:00:11.651 --> 00:00:14.654
The case is centered on the

00:00:14.687 --> 00:00:15.455
attempts to overturn the

00:00:15.455 --> 00:00:19.492
election results.

00:00:19.759 --> 00:00:20.593
Last week two

00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:21.861
grand juries convened in Fulton

00:00:21.894 --> 00:00:22.094
county.

00:00:22.462 --> 00:00:25.465
It marks the first time

00:00:25.598 --> 00:00:27.967
that prosecutors have issued

00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:30.470
subpoenas for documents and

00:00:30.470 --> 00:00:30.503
witnesses.

00:00:30.570 --> 00:00:31.471
District attorney

00:00:31.471 --> 00:00:33.072
fanny Willis is investigating

00:00:33.105 --> 00:00:34.474
whether Mr. Trump violated

00:00:34.474 --> 00:00:36.108
election laws during a January

00:00:36.476 --> 00:00:38.911
phone call with the secretary of

00:00:38.978 --> 00:00:40.480
the state.

00:00:41.614 --> 00:00:43.082
Here is part of that

00:00:43.115 --> 00:00:43.483
conversation.

00:00:43.483 --> 00:00:50.089
>> I just 11780

00:00:50.122 --> 00:00:53.526
votes which is one more than we

00:00:53.593 --> 00:00:54.494
have.

00:00:54.494 --> 00:00:57.830
>> Mr. Trump lost Georgia to now

00:00:57.897 --> 00:01:02.635
president Biden by about 12,000

00:01:02.735 --> 00:01:03.503
votes.

00:01:03.503 --> 00:01:06.506
He sent letters to the

00:01:06.506 --> 00:01:07.607
secretary and money governor

00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:09.509
Brian Kemp asking them to

00:01:09.509 --> 00:01:10.109
preserve any documents that

00:01:10.510 --> 00:01:11.744
could be relevant to the case.

00:01:11.844 --> 00:01:14.514
Those materials are expected to

00:01:14.514 --> 00:01:16.749
be an upcoming focus of the

00:01:16.816 --> 00:01:17.517
investigation.

00:01:17.517 --> 00:01:18.651
For more, let's

00:01:19.051 --> 00:01:21.954
bring in the Atlanta journal

00:01:22.021 --> 00:01:22.755
constitutions Washington

00:01:22.822 --> 00:01:23.856
correspondent tia Mitchel.

00:01:23.956 --> 00:01:24.524
High, there tia.

00:01:24.657 --> 00:01:25.525
Nice to see

00:01:25.525 --> 00:01:26.125
you again.

00:01:26.158 --> 00:01:27.527
What happens in this

00:01:27.660 --> 00:01:31.531
phase of the investigation?

00:01:31.531 --> 00:01:34.567
>> Well, this is really the fact

00:01:34.967 --> 00:01:36.536
finding fades as you mentioned,

00:01:36.536 --> 00:01:38.671
the grand jury has been

00:01:38.771 --> 00:01:39.872
consulted.

00:01:39.972 --> 00:01:42.542
We think that's

00:01:42.542 --> 00:01:43.075
about issuing additional

00:01:43.142 --> 00:01:43.743
subpoenas as the prosecutors

00:01:43.843 --> 00:01:46.145
continue to build the case.

00:01:46.212 --> 00:01:46.779
We

00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:49.148
know that an expert in the

00:01:49.181 --> 00:01:50.550
racketeering and corruption laws

00:01:50.550 --> 00:01:52.552
in Georgia has been brought in

00:01:52.752 --> 00:01:53.886
to work for the da.

00:01:53.953 --> 00:01:55.187
His name is

00:01:55.555 --> 00:01:56.656
John Floyd.

00:01:56.689 --> 00:02:00.593
He is not just

00:02:00.693 --> 00:02:02.194
coming for that case, but this

00:02:02.562 --> 00:02:06.999
case could be added to his list

00:02:07.099 --> 00:02:09.569
because Georgia has used its

00:02:09.602 --> 00:02:16.075
state Rico laws in the past for

00:02:16.108 --> 00:02:19.779
conspiracy accusations against

00:02:19.812 --> 00:02:21.814
elected or government employees.

00:02:21.914 --> 00:02:23.583
>> While this investigation was

00:02:23.583 --> 00:02:25.685
prompted by the January phone

00:02:26.118 --> 00:02:27.587
call in which the former

00:02:27.587 --> 00:02:28.888
president surged him to find him

00:02:28.921 --> 00:02:29.589
more votes.

00:02:29.622 --> 00:02:30.690
What else is the

00:02:30.823 --> 00:02:33.693
district attorney looking in to?

00:02:33.726 --> 00:02:37.096
>> Well, from what we have

00:02:37.129 --> 00:02:40.733
reported she is looking in to

00:02:40.933 --> 00:02:43.603
possibly if there's evidence

00:02:43.603 --> 00:02:44.837
that elected officials or public

00:02:44.904 --> 00:02:46.138
officials violated their oath.

00:02:46.238 --> 00:02:48.608
She is looking at accusations to

00:02:48.608 --> 00:02:49.842
see if there was election fraud.

00:02:50.042 --> 00:02:54.947
Again, she is looking to see if

00:02:55.047 --> 00:02:58.618
there was a conspiracy or if

00:02:58.618 --> 00:03:00.820
there was a conspiracy or

00:03:01.621 --> 00:03:02.822
otherwise other evidence that

00:03:02.855 --> 00:03:03.956
trump and his supporters were

00:03:04.156 --> 00:03:06.626
working together to try to

00:03:06.626 --> 00:03:07.627
influence the outcome of the

00:03:07.660 --> 00:03:07.927
election.

00:03:08.628 --> 00:03:10.229
>> Well, shortly after that call

00:03:10.262 --> 00:03:15.635
the U.S. Attorney for the

00:03:15.635 --> 00:03:17.269
northern district of Georgia

00:03:17.637 --> 00:03:17.737
pack resigned.

00:03:17.770 --> 00:03:18.638
Do we know

00:03:18.638 --> 00:03:21.273
anything more on why?

00:03:21.641 --> 00:03:23.075
>> We don't know much about

00:03:23.175 --> 00:03:23.275
that.

00:03:23.643 --> 00:03:27.279
It's been speculated that

00:03:28.781 --> 00:03:31.283
may be part of da Willis's

00:03:31.651 --> 00:03:31.984
investigation.

00:03:32.084 --> 00:03:34.954
Now, he is a

00:03:34.987 --> 00:03:35.988
trump appointees and most

00:03:36.088 --> 00:03:37.657
federal prosecutors expect to be

00:03:37.657 --> 00:03:38.824
replaced when a new president

00:03:38.891 --> 00:03:39.692
comes in to office.

00:03:39.892 --> 00:03:40.092
Especially

00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:42.795
when the president is of a

00:03:42.862 --> 00:03:43.663
different party.

00:03:43.696 --> 00:03:44.063
His

00:03:44.096 --> 00:03:46.298
resignation was very sudden and

00:03:46.666 --> 00:03:46.799
before Joe Biden was

00:03:46.999 --> 00:03:47.266
inaugurated.

00:03:47.299 --> 00:03:50.670
There are a lot of

00:03:50.670 --> 00:03:54.106
questions about it that could be

00:03:54.206 --> 00:03:57.810
probed by the district attorney.

00:03:57.910 --> 00:04:02.682
>> Tia, will do some say the

00:04:02.682 --> 00:04:04.216
former president's attorney is

00:04:04.283 --> 00:04:04.684
at risk?

00:04:04.684 --> 00:04:07.687
>> Yes, so Rudy Giuliani came

00:04:07.687 --> 00:04:09.822
and testified before a committee

00:04:10.022 --> 00:04:12.692
of the Georgia senate.

00:04:12.692 --> 00:04:12.892
During

00:04:12.892 --> 00:04:16.896
that testimony he peddled a lot

00:04:16.929 --> 00:04:17.830
of misinformation and

00:04:17.897 --> 00:04:19.699
disinformation and flat out

00:04:19.699 --> 00:04:21.400
things that were not true and

00:04:21.701 --> 00:04:22.034
were not fact yule.

00:04:22.101 --> 00:04:23.235
He shared

00:04:23.335 --> 00:04:25.705
that again at this public

00:04:25.705 --> 00:04:27.707
hearing as evidence as to why he

00:04:27.707 --> 00:04:29.842
believed that Joe Biden had not

00:04:29.909 --> 00:04:31.310
won the general election in

00:04:31.343 --> 00:04:31.711
Georgia.

00:04:31.711 --> 00:04:33.012
Again, because he made

00:04:33.145 --> 00:04:35.014
the statements at a government

00:04:35.247 --> 00:04:37.016
meeting at a public hearing,

00:04:37.149 --> 00:04:40.252
people are wondering if he

00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:41.153
possibly break the law.

00:04:41.721 --> 00:04:43.222
>> All right.

00:04:43.255 --> 00:04:44.757
Before we let you

00:04:44.824 --> 00:04:46.158
go, tia, a major election bill

00:04:46.258 --> 00:04:47.226
passed the senate on Monday.

00:04:47.727 --> 00:04:49.829
What can you tell us about that?

00:04:49.862 --> 00:04:53.265
>> Yes, this bill that passed

00:04:53.365 --> 00:04:55.735
the Georgia senate was in no

00:04:55.735 --> 00:04:56.368
excuse absentee ballot.

00:04:56.736 --> 00:04:57.269
It

00:04:57.369 --> 00:04:58.370
would restrict those that wanted

00:04:58.738 --> 00:05:00.072
to vote by mail.

00:05:00.139 --> 00:05:01.741
You have to be

00:05:01.774 --> 00:05:04.744
elderly or live over seas or

00:05:04.877 --> 00:05:06.746
have a medical condition that

00:05:06.746 --> 00:05:07.980
the state determines is and

00:05:08.047 --> 00:05:09.749
gives you an excuse to vote by

00:05:09.749 --> 00:05:09.882
mail.

00:05:10.049 --> 00:05:11.751
It's not opened to anyone

00:05:11.984 --> 00:05:12.284
anymore.

00:05:12.885 --> 00:05:14.754
It's among the many

00:05:14.754 --> 00:05:16.388
changes that Republicans are

00:05:19.291 --> 00:05:24.764
pushing for after their losses

00:05:24.797 --> 00:05:25.064
in Georgia.

00:05:25.297 --> 00:05:26.198
It also requires

00:05:26.265 --> 00:05:27.199
additional identification when

00:05:27.299 --> 00:05:27.767
voting by mail.

00:05:27.767 --> 00:05:28.768
It's different

00:05:29.001 --> 00:05:32.772
than what the house approved.

00:05:32.772 --> 00:05:37.777
Again, no excuse absentee voting

00:05:37.777 --> 00:05:39.178
is something that and it could

00:05:39.211 --> 00:05:39.812
be law this year.

00:05:40.412 --> 00:05:41.013
>> All right.

00:05:41.080 --> 00:05:42.314
This despite as

00:05:42.414 --> 00:05:45.918
we have note in the past there

00:05:45.985 --> 00:05:48.788
being no evidence of widespread
