In a talk before Christmas, Mr. Trump is heard talking to Frances Watson, supervisor for investigations into Georgia's State Secretary's office.
During the conversation, the former president says “I won everything in Georgia. I won the election in Georgia. You know, I made a big difference. Something happened. Something bad happened. I hope you're doing something, I hope you're analyzing two years ago and not just now, otherwise it would be like checking the signature in a check, which means nothing. If you analyze the period two years ago in Fulton County, you'll discover incredible things,” says Mr. Trump.
Officer Watson answers to former president that Georgia “is only interested in revealing the truth” and confirms that his team is conducting an investigation.
President Trump lost in Georgia by a margin of 11,779 votes from over 5 million votes to total. In this state the votes were counted three times, which resulted in the reposital twice of the result produced by Democrat Joe Biden.
The phone call between former President Trump and Mr. Watson was the introduction of a very controversial phone call that happened a few days later between Mr. Trump and Secretary of State in Georgia, Brad Raffensperger. In that conversation, which was intensively covered by the press in January, former President Donald Trump pressures Mr. Raffensperger to “ge” a sufficient number of votes to overturn the election outcome in Georgia.
