As if things weren’t already bad enough for scandal-plagued former President Trump, a new deep dive into the bombshell, multi-count criminal indictment dropped against the ex-president and a whopping 18 of his close allies and co-conspirators has shown that one of Donald’s very own press statements published across the social media accounts of his own aides was ultimately used as evidence against him by Willis and her prosecutors to charge the former president with solicitation of fraud.
Following the explosive indictment dropped by DA Willis and her team late last night, MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell took a deep dive into the newly unsealed criminal indictment and happened to find the damning document among the variety of exhibits included in the sprawl of paperwork.
Donald Trump personally penned a letter to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Sept. 17, 2021 — the very same GA state official who was caught in the crosshairs of Trump’s infamous Peach State phone call, demanding that Raffensperger “find” the thousands of votes he needed to overturn Joe Biden’s victory in the southern swing state. That letter to Reffensperger was posted across social media by Donald’s own press spokesperson. Upon digging through the bombshell new indictment, the very same language from that very same letter was cited in the exhibits included with the charges against Trump and his cohorts.
“Dear Secretary Raffensperger,” Trump wrote in the 2021 letter to the GA state official. “A large scale of voter fraud continues to be reported in Georgia.”

The now-former president went on to write, “I would respectfully request you announce the true winner.”
In the indictment, Willis cites this language from the letter as evidence of “solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer.”
Later on in Trump’s 2021 letter to Reffensperger, the ex-president writes, “As stated to you previously, the number of false and or irregular votes is far greater than needed to change the Georgia election result.”
Contrary to what Trump is trying to portray here, the former president’s claims of voter fraud and a stolen election have been extensively investigated on all fronts, on both a state and federal level, by many of his very own people. Not a single one found any evidence to back up Trump’s claims.
This portion of the letter serves as evidence to back up charges of false statements and writings.
As of now, that letter is still live online on Liz Harrington’s social media account:
