John,
The legal developments are coming fast and furious this week: The Department of Justice added new charges against Donald Trump and a new defendant in the classified documents case, accusing them of a broad scheme to conceal evidence from investigators by scrubbing security footage, and adding another document to the list of national security records that he put in danger.
Meanwhile, it looks like another federal indictment for Donald Trump is on the way—this time for his actions to overturn the 2020 election. These are important developments, and we’ll keep you updated as we learn more. But we also wanted to make sure one key piece of news didn’t get lost in the shuffle:
Rudy Giuliani concedes he made false statements about two Georgia election workers
Rudy Giuliani admitted that while acting as Donald Trump’s lawyer, he made false statements that two Georgia election workers mishandled ballots while counting votes in Atlanta during the 2020 election.
It’s hard to overstate the importance of this admission.
Rudy Giuliani has been a key figure in the Georgia criminal investigation into efforts by Donald Trump and his allies to overturn his election loss in the state. His admission adds to the evidence that Trump and his surrogates inundated Georgia residents and officials with disinformation before and after the 2020 election.
We know that a potential indictment is coming Trump’s way in Georgia — and this may help build the case.

Fulton County prosecutors have spent over two years probing efforts by Trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia.
And John, CREW’s been fighting this even longer.
We filed a criminal complaint about Donald Trump's effort to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election results on January 4th, 2021. Little did we know what would happen two days later.
Trump’s efforts to overturn the election results in Georgia were extraordinary and the facts are clear:
- On Election Day 2020, even though votes were still being counted, Trump announced that it was “clear that [he had] won Georgia.”
- In the following days, he also alleged that military ballots in Georgia were “missing.” Those ballots were, in fact, counted.
- Trump used surrogates, including attorneys Rudy Giuliani, Jenna Ellis and John Eastman, to pressure the Georgia legislature to disregard the certified popular vote totals and take unlawful action so that he could claim the state’s 16 electoral votes.
- Trump’s team took the extraordinary and unlawful step of recruiting and organizing a group of Georgia residents to serve as fake electors to cast Georgia’s 16 Electoral College votes for Trump.
- Finally, Trump called Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, pressuring him to “find” 11,780 votes, the exact number needed to flip the state’s vote tally.
These actions are not only far outside of the norm — truly inconceivable for any other candidate in any other race — but they are very likely criminal. That’s why CREW filed a complaint and called for an investigation.
We’ve taken action from day one of Trump’s presidency to hold him accountable — and we won't stop now.
