President Donald Trump in December pressured the lead elections
investigator in the state of Georgia to "find the fraud" responsible for
his election loss, The Washington Post reported Saturday.
There is no evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 election, but
Trump has repeatedly spread the baseless conspiracy theory since his
loss in November.
The reporting of this call came about a week after the Washington Post
reported the existence of a later call that involved Trump pressuring
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, to "find"
enough votes to flip the state in his favor.
Trump's continued rhetoric about the 2020 election led to the deadly
insurrection at the US Capitol on Wednesday.
