4. The Georgia Case
Prosecutors spent over six months investigating alleged attempts to overturn Trump’s narrow loss in the 2020 presidential election. The process of collecting information and evidence started after the disclosure of an hour-long phone call between Trump and Brad Raffensperger, the state’s top election official, on January 2, 2021.
According to the investigation, the former president said during the call that he “wants to find 11,780 votes”—a reference to the number of ballots necessary to give him victory in the swing state.
The grand jury looking into the case ended up being dissolved earlier this year. Their final report is currently sealed.
As with similar criminal charges against him, Trump described this one as a “witch hunt.” Additionally, he has attacked the legal official leading the investigation as a “young, ambitious Radical Left Democrat… who’s presiding over one of the most corrupt and crime-ridden places.”

We don’t know whether the former chief of state is being directly investigated, but it’s known that some of his allies are part of the inquiry. For an indictment, however, prosecutors would need to show beyond a reasonable doubt that those involved were aware that their actions were fraudulent.
