The New York Times, citing a newly discovered recording, reports that Trump tried to persuade the speaker of Georgia's House of Representatives to call a special session that would nullify his loss in the state.

In a December 7, 2020, phone call, Trump told then-Speaker David Ralston that he could call the session by saying it was "for transparency, and to uncover fraud," adding, "Who's gonna stop you for that?"

Ralston, a Republican attorney, chuckled and said, "A federal judge, possibly." Ralston passed away in 2022.

"The Times obtained the recording Wednesday, less than a month after the criminal election interference case against Trump and 18 of his allies in Fulton County, Georgia, was dismissed.

The audio record is part of several investigative documents from that case.

Ralston didn't keep the call to himself, telling special grand jurors investigating the case about what Trump told him.

But the audio, and Trump's exact words, were not public until now.

Trump's infamous demand to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in January 2021 to "find" 11,780 votes to overturn the election is more widely known."

You know who says things like that? A traitor to the Constitution and the Country and the People, that's who.
