Warnock admits to signing an email with false information about Georgia’s voting laws

Sen. Raphael Warnock admitted to signing an email containing false information about Georgia’s voting laws, the Washington Post revealed.
The Post flagged an email signed by Warnock that was sent out by the nonprofit 3.14 Action after the new voting legislation passed on March 25.
“Warnock, one of two new Democratic senators representing Georgia, signed an email sent out by the advocacy group 3.14 Action after the law passed, which claimed it ended no-excuse mail voting and restricted early voting on the weekends,” the Post reported.
The proposals contained in the email were not signed into law. The final bill expands early voting in Georgia to 17 days and still allows no-excuse absentee voting.
The e-mail was sent out on March 30, five days after Gov. Brian Kemp, a Republican, signed the final bill, according to Fox News.
A Warnock campaign spokesperson told Fox News that the senator had signed off on the email before the law was passed, when those provisions were still under consideration.
The new Georgia voting laws have been under harsh criticism, with President Joe Biden and other Democrats calling the laws “Jim Crow”-era restrictions.
Biden has also received “four Pinocchios” by the Post for falsely claiming the new Georgia laws “ends voting hours early.”
Biden said the new legislation would end voting hours early so “working people can’t cast their votes.”
Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler argued that Biden’s claims were inaccurate.
“One could understand a flub in a news conference. But then this same claim popped up in an official presidential statement. Not a single expert we consulted who has studied the law understood why Biden made this claim, as this was the section of law that expanded early voting for many Georgians,” Kessler wrote.
“On Election Day in Georgia, polling places are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and if you are in line by 7 p.m., you are allowed to cast your ballot. Nothing in the new law changes those rules. However, the law did make some changes to early voting. But experts say the net effect was to expand the opportunities to vote for most Georgians, not limit them,” Kessler continued.

BREAKING: Federal Indictment of Trump in Classified Documents Probe has been Unsealed

Former President and current Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump, has been indicted and is facing 37 counts in connection with his alleged mishandling of classified documents. The 49-page document was unsealed Friday.
The indictment contains charges of the following: Willful retention of national defense information, conspiracy to obstruct justice, withholding a document or record, corruptly concealing a document or record, concealing a document in a federal investigation, scheme to conceal, and making false statements and representations.
Trump announced the indictment Thursday night on Truth Social, his social media platform:
“The corrupt Biden Administration has informed my attorneys that I have been Indicted, seemingly over the Boxes Hoax, even though Joe Biden has 1850 Boxes at the University of Delaware, additional Boxes in Chinatown, D.C., with even more Boxes at the University of Pennsylvania, and documents strewn all over his garage floor where he parks his Corvette, and which is ‘secured’ by only a garage door that is paper thin, and open much of the time.”
Trump declared himself an “INNOCENT MAN” and the subject of the “Greatest Witch Hunt of all time.” The Biden administration, he claimed, is ‘TOTALLY CORRUPT.”
The former president has argued that all the documents in question were declassified when he left the White House. “You’re the president of the United States, you can declassify just by saying it’s declassified, even by thinking about it,” he told Fox News host Sean Hannity in an interview last year.
Trump was on to Biden's deep corruption re Ukraine and wanted it investigated, so they impeached him.
Now that many of Biden's crimes are being exposed, naturally they're going to indict Trump again.
