In a breaking development, a recording of a phone call allegedly made by Donald Trump in November 2020 has surfaced, shedding light on yet another attempt to pressure local election officials. According to reports from The Detroit News, the phone call took place on November 17, 2020, just two weeks after Trump had lost the presidential election in Michigan by a significant margin of over 100,000 votes.
Though the recording has not been heard by all, it reportedly captures then-President Trump personally pressuring two Republican members of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers not to sign the certification of the election. The conversation allegedly involved Trump arguing and contending with the officials, emphasizing that they would appear unfavorable if they chose to sign the certification.
