Additionally, a recorded call from January 2, 2021, captured Trump pressuring Republican Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to "find 11,780 votes."

What charges could Trump face in Georgia?

What do Trump and his lawyers have to say?

His attempts to dismiss the case have been unsuccessful.

How does the Georgia case compare with the DOJ’s Jan. 6 investigation?
