There’s something “odd” about former President Donald Trump’s latest court filing in his Georgia election racketeering case, according to an MSNBC host’s analysis.
Katie Phang took to X Friday to discuss a corrected supplemental defense exhibit Trump filed in regards to the personal relationship between Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade his co-defendants contend constitutes misconduct.
“It has some very interesting, substantive corrections/edits made to the original affidavit of Trump's criminal defense investigator,” writes Phang. “This filing isn't as much of a 'gotcha' as Trump thinks it is.”

Phang points specifically to a correction on the fifth page that changes 12,000 text messages” to “12,000 interactions” identified between Willis and Wade over an 11-month span.
“One odd thing,” Phang writes, “The definition of ‘interactions’--’this includes voice calls and text messages’--doesn't change.”
But in the corrected affidavit, Phang notes, Trump’s investigator tallies his findings at more than 2000 voice calls and just under 12,000 interactions.
“I thought the definition included voice calls?” she wrote.
Phang also notes Wade and Willis testified that the time together as friends, which she argues undercuts the impact of the AT&T records analysis.
“I also noticed that in the affidavit, it didn't say he served a subpoena on AT&T,” Phang concluded. “He said he ‘served a request for records.’ [Six] days after the request, ‘counsel’ received the records.”
Phang's followers were quick to offer their own interpretations that followed a common trend.
"The desperation is embarrassingly thick with these filings," replied @RyanWhitingVO. "He loves a good circus!"
"Desperate for a delay," added @Raaamonnn. "He'll do anything to delay this case."
"Grasping at straws," added @spicedrop71. "Of course."
