Trump's Audio Recordings Reveal Pressure on Michigan Election Officials to Not Certify Results

Former President Donald Trump was captured on audio pressuring election workers in Michigan not to sign papers certifying the election results. The phone call, which took place on November 17, 2020, included Trump, the chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, Ronna McDaniel, and two Republican members of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers. Trump told the canvassers they would look "terrible" if they signed the papers to certify the election after having previously voted against certification. Trump's behavior mirrored his infamous call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, in which he pressured him to "find" additional votes.
