Kemp, a Republican who has been a frequent target of Trump over refusing to back discredited election fraud conspiracy theories, has opposed the call to declare a special session,during a press conference on Thursday that it was"not feasible and may ultimately prove to be unconstitutional." "As the corrupt Fulton County DA continues to target Donald Trump...
