A recent CNN interview, conservative lawyer George Conway hinted at the possibility of former President Donald Trump facing yet another set of criminal charges, this time in Michigan. The speculation arises from a recent report revealing Trump’s alleged personal pressure on Republican lawmakers in Michigan to block the certification of election results.
Conway emphasized the significance of these developments, stating that they align with the criminal conspiracy allegations made by the Department of Justice and special counsel Jack Smith in Washington, D.C., as well as by prosecutor Fani Willis in the Georgia Fulton County case. Drawing parallels, Conway noted similarities to Trump’s infamous phone call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, where he urged the official to “find” additional votes.
The attorney highlighted the absence of factual evidence supporting claims of fraud and pointed out potential intimidation tactics. According to Conway, the reported inducement of legal protection and promises of legal representation to encourage officials to violate their duties could constitute an additional crime under Michigan law.
Conway raised an intriguing question about whether Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is aware of or possesses the reported tape. He acknowledged that while it may not be essential for special counsel Jack Smith to include this information in his case, it remains consistent with the ongoing legal proceedings. The ultimate question, Conway suggested, is whether Michigan authorities will pursue charges against individuals like Ronna McDaniel or Mr. Trump.
