Trump left himself 'vulnerable' to criminal prosecution in Georgia: GOP elections lawyer

Longtime Republican elections attorney Ben Ginsberg told CNN on Friday that he believes former President Donald Trump made himself "vulnerable" to facing criminal prosecution thanks to his efforts to overturn the results of Georgia's presidential vote.

When asked by CNN host John Berman what criminal charges Trump could face for his infamous phone call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, Ginsberg didn't hesitate to say Trump could be charged with election fraud.

"Certainly, election fraud and conspiracy," he said. "He's got some vulnerabilities there, because of his statement: 'I want you to find me 11,780 votes, that's one more than they have.' That's a command in the hands of a prosecutor, to actually create votes, which ironically would be the election fraud that Donald Trump claims is rampant."

Ginsberg said that Trump and his aides would likely be called to testify in Georgia, and now they couldn't use executive privilege as a shield to prevent them from delivering evidence.

"Part of the criminal charges that will be brought before a grand jury is his intent, his state of mind," Ginsberg said. "There's only one way to get at that evidence, and that's to depose the former president of the United States. That would not be a pleasing occurrence, I suspect, for Donald Trump. But he's under the grasp of the grand jury."
