A grand jury in Georgia has handed its report to District Attorney recommending charges over Trump’s controversial election phone call to the state’s attorney general where he declared: “I just want to find 11,780 votes”.He is also facing a Department of Justice investigation relating to the removal of White House documents which resulted in an FBI raid last year.
