Read the revised indictment in the federal election subversion case

Case 1:23-cr-00257-TSC Document 226 Filed 08-27-24 Page 14 of 36 34. bcdef Defendant responded, “I don’t care about a link, I don’t need it. I have a lot, [Georgia Secretary of State]I have a much better link.” The defendant asked about rumors that paper ballots cast in the election were destroyed, and counsel for the Georgia Secretary of State explained to him that the claim had been investigated and was untrue. The defendant claimed that 5,000 dead people voted in Georgia, to which the Georgia Secretary of State responded, “Well, Mr. President, the challenge you have is that the data that you have is incorrect. . . . The actual number was two. Two. Two dead people who voted. And so
[your information]’is wrong, there were two.’ The defendant claimed that thousands of out-of-state voters cast ballots in the Georgia election, which counsel for the Georgia Secretary of State denied, stating, ‘We went through all of them, and the numbers that we got, that [Defendant’s counsel] I just said they’re not accurate. Everyone we’ve seen is people who lived in Georgia, moved to another state, but then legitimately moved back to Georgia… they moved back years ago. This wasn’t like something right before the election.” In response to several other allegations made by defendant, counsel for the Georgia Secretary of State told defendant that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation investigated all such claims and found no merit. Defendant said he had to “find” 11,780 votes and insinuated that the Georgia Secretary of State and his counsel could face criminal charges if they failed to find election fraud as he claimed, stating: “And you’re going to find that they’re – which is completely illegal – it’s, it’s, it’s even more illegal for you than it is for them, because you know what they’ve done and you don’t report it. That’s a criminal, you know, that’s a criminal offense. And you know, you can’t let that happen. That is a big risk for you and for [the Georgia Secretary of State’s Counsel]your attorney.” The following day, on January 3, defendant falsely claimed that the Georgia Secretary of State had not addressed defendant’s allegations, and publicly stated that the Georgia Secretary of State was “unwilling or unable to answer questions such as the ‘ballots under the table’ scam, ballot destruction, out-of-state ‘voters’, dead voters and more. He has no idea!” – 14 –
