True Crimes: the misdeeds of TCF. Part 1, filing fraudulent affidavit.


In the post-election period, the defendant also made false claims in court about fraud in
Georgia-unsuccessfully. For example, in Trump v. Kemp, a federal lawsuit in which the
defendant sued Georgia's Governor and Secretary of State, the defendant signed a verification of
fraud allegations that he and his attorney on the case, CC2 knew wasinaccurate.
spoke with the defendant and CC2 in late December regarding the proposed verification. First,
he told CC2 that they could not have the
P9
and another private attorney,
P31
defendant sign it because they could not verify any ofthe facts.¹127 And P9 told the
defendant that any lawyer that signed the complaint that the verification supported would get
disbarred.128 CC2 acknowledged this problem in an email on December 31 to P32
lead counsel for the defendant as candidate in Trump v. Kemp, and another private attorney, writing
that in the time since the defendant signed a previous verification in the case, he “had been made
aware that some ofthe allegations (and evidence proffered by the experts) has been inaccurate"
and that signing a new affirmation“with that knowledge (and incorporation by reference) would
not be accurate."129 Nonetheless, on December 31 , the defendant signed the verification, and
CC2 caused it to be filed
