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.
