Former President Donald Trump in a 2020 phone call attempted to pressure Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey to overturn his state’s election results, according to a new report.
Three people familiar with the call, who asked not to be identified, told The Washington Post that Trump phoned Ducey and asked him to investigate allegations of voter fraud, which Trump believed would justify overturning the election.
Trump also asked then-Vice President Mike Pence call the Arizona governor to push him into supporting his fraud claims, according to the Post. While they did discuss the election on several occasions, Pence did not pressure Ducey as his boss requested, two people familiar with the conversations said.
