Hollywood actor Jon Voight has defended President Donald Trump following Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ indictment alleging efforts to dispute the results of the 2020 election in Georgia.
“This is now a war, a war against all of us. The Biden administration is a corrupt mob and the Obama administration fuels the cycle,” he said.
Mr. Voight, best known for his roles in the 1969 movie “Midnight Cowboy” and 1978 movie “Coming Home,” has starred in more than 90 television and film roles.
“Let me warn you all that this corrupt behavior against President Trump is the most disgusting scheme to try and keep him down and this is a horror,” he continued.
Mr. Voight then briefly took aim at the current administration’s approach to rising crime across the United States.
“My fellow Americans, this is a civil war and this is the time we must stand for truths. If we don’t see this, you, your children, your grandchildren, sisters, brothers will all pay the price for this default,” he said.
“If we allow deceit against President Trump and allow this lie to win, we will all regret this and my only wish is that all can find the truth that President Trump is a man who wants to save America, the dream, the freedom,” he said.
“Let us not allow the manipulation of this government to destroy this land, our purpose, our love, our light,” he said. “Our freedom is being taken away with lies and greed. Stand up now, for the only truths that can save us,” the actor concluded.
Trump Vows to Challenge Trial Date
Mr. Voight’s video comes shortly after President Trump was booked into the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta on Aug. 24 after surrendering himself to authorities following his indictment on racketeering and conspiracy charges. He was later released on a $200,000 bond.Eighteen of President Trump’s associates were also charged in the indictment and given until noon on Aug. 25 to hand themselves over or risk arrest.
The indictment accuses President Trump and his co-defendants of having “refused to accept that Trump lost” the 2020 elections and of having “knowingly and willfully joined a conspiracy to unlawfully change the outcome of the election in favor of Trump.”
“That conspiracy contained a common plan and purpose to commit two or more acts of racketeering activity in Fulton County, Georgia, elsewhere in the State of Georgia, and in other states,” the indictment alleges.
President Trump faces 13 charges, including a violation of Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer, conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree, and conspiracy to commit filing of false documents, among others.
He has denied all wrongdoing.
Meanwhile, all of President Trump’s co-defendants have been charged with at least one count of violating Georgia’s RICO Act, among others.
