In Georgia, special grand jurors investigating interference in the 2020 election have heard audio of a phone call Trump placed to then-House Speaker David Ralston in which the president asked the fellow Republican to convene a special session of the Legislature to overturn Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory in Georgia. That’s according to new details of the grand jury’s probe published in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, which reports speaker Ralston responded to Trump, “I will do everything in my power that I think is appropriate.” Ralston did not call a special session, and Biden’s win in Georgia was ultimately certified, despite Trump’s efforts. In January of 2021, Trump was recorded asking Georgia’s Republican secretary of state to “find 11,780 votes” — enough to overtake Joe Biden. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis said in January a decision on whether to bring criminal charges against Trump was “imminent.”
