Where Can Trump Find 11,780 Votes?
Desperation is sinking in for President Trump as he begs Republican officials to subvert the will of the voters.
In his latest attempt to subvert the presidential election results, last Saturday, President Trump called Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to pressure him to “find” the 11,780 votes necessary to flip the election in his favor. Preet and Anne discuss whether Trump’s threats constitute a crime, an impeachable offense, or both.
Meanwhile, a number of Republican Senators, led by Missouri’s Josh Hawley, plan to participate in a last-ditch effort to challenge the election results when Congress meets tomorrow to formally certify the Electoral College vote. Preet and Anne explain why this attempt is doomed to fail but sets a dangerous precedent.
