Referring to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis as a “racist,” the former president and 2024 GOP frontrunner said that the investigation hinges on a “perfect” phone call he made to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asking if he could “find” the votes needed to beat Joe Biden in the election. The president believed that votes in his favor were suppressed while votes in Biden’s favor were not.

“All I want to do is this: I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have,” Trump said during the call, “because we won the state.”

Trump compared this phone call with his call to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, referring to it as an “even more perfect” phone call during his Tuesday speech.

“This one was more perfect. Nobody said, ‘Sir, you shouldn’t say that’ — many people on the phone — or hung up in disgust because I said something inappropriately,” the former president said. “Nothing was said wrong. In fact, at the end of the call, we agreed to continue our conversation about election fraud and election fraud specifically in Georgia.”

The former president added that people on the phone call included “lots of lawyers” and that “nobody found anything wrong with that perfect phone call until a book promotion tour many months later.”
