Trump begs Georgia secretary of state to overturn election results in remarkable, hourlong phone call (video)
“There’s no way I lost Georgia,” Trump said. "There’s no way. We won by hundreds of thousands of votes."
President Donald Trump begged Georgia's secretary of state to overturn the election results in a remarkable, hourlong phone call obtained by NBC News on Sunday.
Excerpts of the call, which took place Saturday, were first published by The Washington Post earlier Sunday.
The phone call featured Trump, days before he is set to leave office, pleading with Raffensperger to alter the vote total and launching into a barrage of discredited conspiracy theories about the election. Trump even suggested that Raffensperger may face criminal consequences should he refuse to intervene in accordance with Trump's wishes.
