What did Donald Trump claim about elections on 4 Apr 2023?
Donald Trump, Former President of the United States and Republican presidential candidate ·
Many people on the phone including lots of lawyers, nobody found anything wrong with that perfect call until a book promotion tour many months later.
The call drew objections within days. On Jan. 11, 2021, nine days after it, a House impeachment resolution cited it, and the House impeached him on that article two days later; Raffensperger's book came out in November 2021.
H. Res. 24, introduced in the House on January 11, 2021, states that Trump's prior efforts to overturn the election 'included a phone call on January 2, 2021, during which President Trump urged the secretary of state of Georgia, Brad Raffensperger, to ``find'' enough votes to overturn the Georgia Presidential election results and threatened Secretary Raffensperger if he failed to do so' (H. Res. 24, 117th Congress, GPO).
