Trump Calls Georgia Secretary of State — 'I Just Want to Find 11,780 Votes' (2021-01-02)
In a recorded phone call, Trump pressures Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to 'find 11,780 votes' — exactly one more than Biden's margin of victory in Georgia. Trump threatens Raffensperger with criminal prosecution if he doesn't act. The recording of the call is leaked and becomes one of the most damaging pieces of evidence of Trump's direct involvement in attempting to overturn the election. Raffensperger later testifies before the January 6 committee.
