Lauro's assertion that Trump truly believed he won the election and was only asking — rather than ordering or threatening — Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to "find" him enough votes to overturn the election should be a "question of fact" for a jury to decide, according to Marc Scholl of Lewis Baach Kaufmann Middlemiss PLLC.
"It is not automatically 'aspirational' just because an attorney now says it was," Scholl noted, referring to Lauro's public comments related to Trump's free speech defense.
