A missing laptop could be key to prosecuting Trump. This rural Georgia county only recently admitted that it exists
https://www.dailydot.com/news/missing-laptop-trump-case-georgia/Litigants, journalists, and the public have all been asking: Where is the laptop?
The laptop was seen in surveillance footage from a Georgia elections office that was breached in the aftermath of the 2020 election. Some believe it could contain evidence for Georgia’s criminal case against former President Donald Trump.
Questions about the laptop and demands for the owner to produce it have been escalating for more than a year and a half.
Throughout most of that time, Coffee County, Georgia has claimed no such computer exists. Finally, in court last month, it offered a new theory: the device doesn’t belong to the rural, red-leaning county; instead, it’s state or maybe even personal property.
The laptop’s existence was uncovered in a federal civil suit that seeks to force Georgia to abandon mandatory electronic ballots and in most circumstances use hand-marked paper ones. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis relied on that suit, Curling v. Raffensperger, for portions of the racketeering case against Trump and his 18 co-defendants, four of whom have pleaded guilty.
