But it is a crime to call up a state official and demand "find me 11000 votes", or to interfere (or attempt to interfere) in the election process, etc. He's not up on charges for disputing it.

'Subjects of criminal investigation aren't usually reckless enough to go on national television and admit their corrupt intent,' Anthony Michael Kreis, a constitutional law professor at Georgia State University, wrote on Twitter after the appearance. 'But Donald Trump just handed Fani Willis a new piece of evidence and tied a bow on it.'
