US President Donald Trump badgered and pleaded with Georgia's election chief to overturn Joe Biden's win in the state. A desperate Trump can be heard suggesting in a telephone call that the official "find" enough votes to hand him the victory. Audio snippets of the conversation were first posted online by The Washington Post. The conversation on Saturday was the latest step in an unprecedented effort by a sitting president to pressure a state official to reverse the outcome of a free and fair election that he lost. Trump confirmed in a tweet on Sunday that he had spoken with Georgia's secretary of state a day earlier.
