In a scene similar to the Malignant Loser's "just find 11,780 votes" call to Georgia election officials in an attempt to change their 2020 election results, the Washington Post reports this morning that the Malignant Loser applied the same pressure to former Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey after the 2020 election:
"In a phone call in late 2020, President Donald Trump tried to pressure Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) to overturn the state’s presidential election results, saying that if enough fraudulent votes could be found it would overcome Trump’s narrow loss in Arizona, according to three people familiar with the call.
Trump also repeatedly asked Vice President Mike Pence to call Ducey and prod him to find the evidence to substantiate Trump’s claims of fraud, according to two of these people. Pence called Ducey several times to discuss the election, they said, though he did not follow Trump’s directions to pressure the governor." (our emphasis)
Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigators have been in contact with governors over the Malignant Loser's attempt to alter the outcome of elections in their states, including Ducey. It's not clear if the Malignant Loser's call to Ducey, which was not taped, will be part of the accumulating evidence that Smith is gathering in his January 6 investigation, or if interviews with Ducey and his staff will be pursued by the Special Counsel. Stay tuned.
