ATLANTA (AP) — ATLANTA (AP) — While election officials in Georgia were verifying signatures on absentee ballot envelopes in one metro-Atlanta county, President Donald Trump pressed a lead investigator to look at a different county. He said the investigator would “find things that are gonna be unbelievable.” The December call preceded Trump’s Jan. 2 call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger where he asked election officials to “find” enough votes to overturn Joe Biden’s win in the state’s presidential election. The call was described by a person familiar with it who spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to describe the sensitive nature of the discussion. It was first reported by The Washington Post.
