Donald Trump posted a three-page rant Tuesday morning, declaring his actions during his now-infamous telephone call to the Georgia Secretary of State were “perfect” and above reproach. The ex-president made the social media posts just hours before a judge will decide on releasing the special grand jury’s report from Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis‘ investigation into the ex-president’s actions interfering with the 2020 election.
Calling Willis’ investigation into Trump an “Imminent threat,” USA Today reports the special grand jury’s report includes “any recommendations related to the possible prosecution of the former president and his allies.” The newspaper adds the investigation is “perhaps the most serious legal threat facing the former president.”
Talking Points Memo adds the “grand jury’s own recommendation is that they should be made public.”

Trump on Tuesday repeated many of the same lies he has made in defense of his possibly unlawful call to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.
“My phone call to the Secretary of State of Georgia, and a second call which the Marxists, Communists, Racists, and RINOS don’t even want to talk about, were ‘perfect’ calls,” Trump falsely declared, writing “perfect” in all-caps.
“Many people, including lawyers for both sides, were knowingly on the line. I was protesting a rigged & stolen election, which evidence proves it was,” he continued, which is a lie. “I won Georgia by a lot, but only needed a small number of votes from that total number. They cheated in many ways including stuffing Ballots, all caught live on tape.”
Again, that is false.
“With many people on the line on what was a perfect call protesting the Rigged Georgia Election, which I have a clear right to do, and in fact an obligation to do since I made the call as President, how come not one person said, while on the call, that I acted inappropriately, or made a statement of protest at what I said, & then slammed down the phone,” he asked. “Not one, even with so many opposing people, lawyers, and others on the line. No admonishment at all. We nicely agreed to speak again,” Trump claimed.
The one-term twice-impeached ex-president under multiple criminal investigations made additional false claims, and concluded by writing, “The Election in Georgia was rigged and stollen,” he said, once again misspelling “stolen.” “We have all the evidence needed. That is the crime!”
Tuesday’s hearing, TPM notes, is expected to be aired aired live on the judge’s YouTube channel.
