Jan 4, 2021

Here is the audio from the hourlong call Saturday between President Donald Trump pressuring Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to overturn the results of Georgia’s presidential election days before the high-stakes runoffs for control of the U.S. Senate.

Editor’s note: Georgia poll workers were mentioned by name by Trump in the call. Because of reported death threats in the wake of the renewed attention since information on the call was made public, this recording of the call has been edited to not identify them.
