In a recent development, a recorded phone call has emerged, revealing former President Donald Trump pressuring election officials in Michigan not to certify the results of the 2020 election. The call, reported by The Detroit News, features Trump urging two Republican election officials in Wayne County to refrain from certifying their county's results. Wayne County is home to Detroit, a Democratic stronghold.
According to The Detroit News, Trump made the call after a meeting where the two officials initially voted against certification before later reversing their decision. In the recorded conversation, Trump allegedly said, 'We've got to fight for our country. We can't let these people take our country away from us.' The officials admitted that Trump had indeed contacted them.
