New Audio Tapes Reveal Trump Pressured Michigan Vote Certifiers in 2020

The tapes could potentially impact ongoing legal cases against Trump, including his efforts to overturn Biden’s victory.

Newly revealed audio tapes show former President Donald Trump and Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel pressuring Michigan vote certifiers not to certify the 2020 election results in Wayne County, a key county that Biden won.
The tapes could potentially impact ongoing legal cases against Trump, including a federal case and a Georgia case tied to his efforts to overturn Biden’s victory.
Trump's 2024 campaign neither confirmed nor denied the recording’s legitimacy, insisting that all of Trump’s actions after his defeat to Democrat Joe Biden were taken to uphold his oath of office and ensure fair elections.
Trump continues to repeat the false claim that the 2020 election was stolen, despite multiple recounts and court cases confirming his defeat.
Trump's legal team has consistently sought to delay the legal processes, a strategy that has been successful so far with the Supreme Court declining to fast-track consideration of Trump's immunity claim related to charges brought against him for the January 6 insurrection.
