Trump is currently under federal investigation and may face a third indictment for his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
After the initial state election results, Trump asked Kemp to convene a special session of the state legislature to overturn President Joe Biden’s victory in Georgia. He also urged Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in January 2021 to “find 11,780 votes.”
The investigation into Trump’s actions includes a separate inquiry led by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. Kemp testified before the grand jury last year, although it does not possess the power to issue indictments. The investigation’s report refuted Trump’s claims of widespread voter fraud and recommended various legal actions.
Kemp has criticized the investigation into Trump’s alleged interference in the state’s presidential election, considering it a “distraction” from the Biden administration’s accomplishments.

“This is a distraction from us being focused on Joe Biden’s record and discussing the border crisis and the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan,” Kemp stated after Trump revealed he had received a target letter.
On Sunday, Trump shared on his social media platform, Truth Social, that he had received a letter from Smith, designating him as a target of the Justice Department’s investigation into potential election interference in 2020. Target letters serve as official correspondence from prosecutors to individuals under investigation.
