Trump's Third Attempt to Influence Georgia Election Results Heard by Grand Jury

A special grand jury in Georgia heard a recording of Donald Trump attempting to get then-state House Speaker David Ralston to convene a special session of the legislature to overturn Joe Biden’s narrow 2020 election win in the state. Ralston reportedly deflected the outgoing president’s request. The jurors have previously focused on other calls Mr Trump made in 2020 to state officials, including an infamous recording of the president asking Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find” him enough votes to win. Since February 2021, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has been investigating the former president’s attempts to influence the state’s 2020 presidential election results.
