Trump Pressured Georgia Leader to "Change" Election Result in Revealed Call

Former U.S. President Donald Trump directly pressured Georgia’s top lawmaker to overturn the state’s 2020 election results. This is according to a recording of a 12.5-minute phone call. In the call, Trump repeatedly told Georgia House Speaker David Ralley that he had won the state. He urged Ralley to take action to “change” the outcome. Official results show Trump lost Georgia by more than 11,000 votes. The call occurred as Trump and his allies were making widespread, but unproven, claims of election fraud. The recording provides a clear example of Trump asking a state official to reverse certified votes. Georgia’s election results were confirmed by multiple audits and upheld by courts. There is no evidence of fraud that would change the outcome.
