Dem Lawmaker Will Refer Criminal Charges Against Pres Trump, Claims Crimes Against Humanity
Ohio state Rep. Tavia Galonski (D) said that she is going to make a “referral for crimes against humanity” over President Trump’s promotion of the antimalarial hydroxychloroquine to treat the coronavirus to the International Court in Hague.
Rep. Tavia Galonski tweeted on Sunday, “I can’t take it anymore. I’ve been to The Hague. I’m making a referral for crimes against humanity tomorrow. Today’s press conference was the last straw. I know the need for a prosecution referral when I see one.”

Later Galonski admitted she has “no idea” how she would go about making a referral.
“How hard can it be?” Galonski, a former magistrate in the Summit County Common Pleas Court added.
Galonski told the Ohio Capital Journal during an interview that she is going to investigate how to report an allegation of crimes against humanity to the International Criminal Court, commonly known as “The Hague” in the Netherlands.
“I need every lawyer that ever did any work on the international level to contact me,” Galonski tweeted on Sunday. She repeatedly offered her personal email addresses, asking supporters to “send me your name and legal qualifications.”
She’s also threatening to add Republicans claiming they are guilty of “aiding an abetting.”

According to Galonski’s biography page, she has served the State of Ohio in a “legal capacity for over 15 years.”
Galonski, previously a magistrate in the Summit County Court of Common Pleas, has served the state in a legal capacity for over 15 years. Formerly a magistrate of the county’s domestic relations court, she most recently served as magistrate of the county’s juvenile court before coming to the state legislature.
Galonski received her Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Emory University in Atlanta, where she became employed with Delta Airlines as a flight attendant. Her goal at Delta was for flight attendants to be unionized like pilots, as she noticed the pilots were able to negotiate as a unit for fair and just workplace agreements.
