In an hour-long phone call, President Donald Trump sought to pressure Georgia’s secretary of state Brad Raffensperger to “find 11,780 votes,” or enough that would swing the state in his favor.
The audio of the call was first obtained by The Washington Post and its national political reporter Amy Gardner, and it quickly triggered concern and outrage over the president’s attempts to overturn the results of the presidential race, even as states have certified the results and courts more 50 times have rejected claims by Trump and his allies.
In the call, Trump tells Raffensperger that, even though the state has conducted two recounts and certified the results in favor of Joe Biden, there would be “nothing wrong” with him “saying, you know, that you’ve recalculated.”
“Well, Mr. President, the challenge that you have is, the data you have is wrong,” Raffensperger responded.
