State officials received scores of calls from Giuliani, other Trump allies after 2020 election

LA Times  

Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers, left, testifies Tuesday before the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol as Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and Georgia Deputy Secretary of State Gabriel Sterling look on. “A handful of election officials in several key states stood between Donald Trump and the upending of American democracy.” State officials, including Rusty Bowers, the Republican speaker of the Arizona House of Representatives, testified that they received multiple phone calls from Trump, along with his lawyers Rudolph W. Giuliani, Jenna Ellis and John Eastman, urging him to decertify the results of the 2020 election and approve a slate of pro-Trump electors. Bowers said he asked Giuliani for proof of his allegations of voter fraud on “multiple occasions,” including the names of people who Giuliani alleged voted illegally, but said he never received such evidence. “I did not want to be used as a pawn.” The most well-known example of Trump attempting to convince an election official to overturn results in a state he lost is his Jan. 2, 2021, phone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, in which Raffensperger was asked to “find” 11,780 votes. “We had to disconnect out home phone for about three days.” Before the hearing began, Trump issued a statement calling Bowers a “RINO” — a Republican in name only — and claiming the Arizona Republican told him “the election was rigged and that won Arizona.” Bowers said the claim was false.
