Fulton County DA opens criminal probe into Trump's Attempts to overturn Georgia election results

The launch of this analysis was shown in a letter from District Attorney Fani Willis to say officials requesting them to preserve some documents possibly associated with the 2020 overall election,"with special care given to set apart and conserve the ones that could be signs of efforts to influence the activities of individuals who have been administering" it, which might comprise Trump's Jan. 2 telephone call using the secretary.

"This analysis includes, but isn't limited to, possible crimes of Georgia law prohibiting the solicitation of fraud, that the making of false statements to local and state political bodies, conspiracy, racketeering, breach of oath of office and some participation in violence or threats linked to the election's government," Willis writes from the correspondence.

Information of Willis' analysis comes only two weeks after it was disclosed the Georgia secretary of state's office had established its investigation to Trump's telephone calls to state officials, also in the middle of this U.S. Senate's continuing impeachment trial as Democrats search to defraud Trump on fees his attempts to thwart his election reduction helped incite the Jan. 6 insurrection in the U.S. Capitol.

"The timing here isn't accidental given the impeachment trial," said Trump senior advisor Jason Miller in reaction to this probe. "That is the Democrats' most recent effort to score political points from continuing their witch hunt against President Trump, and everyone sees it."

A spokesperson for Willis' office didn't immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment.

Willis' letter especially notes that her office now has"no reason to think any Georgia official is a goal of the investigation."

Trump's first famous call into Georgia say election officials took place in December since the state was running a touch game audit in Cobb County, outside Atlanta. Trump supposedly pleaded with the investigator at Raffensperger's workplace to"find the fraud," according to a person familiar with the telephone.

Afterwards, when ABC News acquired sound of his hour-long Jan. two call to Raffensperger where Trump pleaded with him to locate the specific number of votes required to overturn his election loss, election law specialists contended Trump might have offended as many as three different state legislation.

Trump has denied any wrongdoing, and his impeachment attorneys filed a short week disputing that Trump"acted in that phone call at all.''
