Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson recently commented on new revelations about the pressure exerted by former President Trump and his allies on local officials to block the certification of the 2020 election results. In a recorded call that was released, Trump is heard urging canvassers to overturn the election outcome in Wayne County, where Detroit is located, under the false claim of widespread corruption.
Secretary Benson expressed that the existence of the recording wasn't surprising, as they had suspected such pressure tactics were at play during the post-election process. The recording reinforces the evidence that the former president actively tried to influence local officials and obstruct the certification of a fair and legitimate election.
