In newly released audio obtained by cnn and first reported by the washington post, President Trump is recorded on a call asking georgias secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, to find just enough votes so he can overturn joe bidens win in the state. And trump is heard threatening the secretary of state if he does not. The call, which took place on saturday, was one hour long. Here are the key parts. So look, all i want to do is this.
