The Fulton County prosecutor, Democrat Fani Willis, whose district covers the state capital Atlanta, sent letters to Georgia's governor, Brian Kemp, the secretary of state, Brad Raffles Burger, the state's attorney general, and other officials that her office was looking into a number of possible crimes, including solicitation of election fraud, conspiracy and racketeering.

The prosecutor asked the officials to preserve records that maybe quote evidence of attempts to influence the actions of persons who are administering that election.

The investigation by Willis is the most serious probe facing Trump in Georgia connected it to a January 2nd phone called Pressuring Raffles Burger to overturn the state's election results based on unfounded voter fraud claims.

Trump told Raffles, Burger quote, I just want to find 11,780 votes, adding quote, there's nothing wrong with saying you know that you have recalculated.

The Fulton County prosecutor's probe comes two days after Raffles Burgers office opened its own investigation into Trump's phone call.

Representatives for the county prosecutor and for Trump did not respond to requests for comment.

Donald Trump had refused to accept Democratic President Joe Biden's victory in Georgia and other swing states falsely alleging that Georgia's election results were tainted by fraud claims forcefully refuted by that state's Republican leaders.
