Disgraced former president Donald Trump is clearly worried about what’s transpiring in a Fulton County, Georgia courtroom today, where a grand jury is hearing evidence and decided if they will hand down criminal indictments against the twice-impeached Trump for his attempts to illegally overturn the results of the 2020 election in the Peach State.
On his failing Truth Social site, Trump attacked one of the main witnesses who will testify before the grand jury, former Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan, even though he managed to misspell Duncan’s name.
“I am reading reports that failed former Lt. Governor of Georgia, Jeff Duncan, will be testifying before the Fulton County Grand Jury. He shouldn’t. I barely know him but he was, right from the beginning of this Witch Hunt, a nasty disaster for those looking into the Election Fraud that took place in Georgia. He refused having a Special Session to find out what went on, became very unpopular with Republicans (I refused to endorse him!), and fought the TRUTH all the way. A loser, he went to FNCNN!”
The posting is the very definition of witness intimidation, according attorney George Conway.
“This morning’s first attempt at witness intimidation,” Conway wrote on Twitter.
Former Michigan U.S. attorney Barbara McQuade concurred:
“Witness tampering in real time.”
National security lawyer Bradley Moss also weighed in.
“He is now taunting grand jury witnesses in Georgia. Just begging for trouble from whatever judge gets assigned that case if, as expected, Willis indicts him tomorrow.”
We can probably expect more attacks from Trump for the remainder of the day. Stay tuned.
