The race to discredit the account of Trump's phone call with Georgia's Secretary of State is on.

Final thing I'd say here: My colleague
@AmyEGardner
broke the news of the Trump call to Raffensperger on Jan. 3. The runoff was on Jan 5. The electoral college protest was on Jan 6. The story corrected today ran on Jan 9, days after voting was over.



Here’s the full transcript and audio of the call between Trump and Raffensperger

You could read the corrected story, which names the source, and explains why there wasn't an audio file available at that time. https://washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-call-georgia-investigator/2021/03/11/c532ea2e-827a-11eb-ac37-4383f7709abe_story.html



Dave Weigel Retweeted

Congressman Cawthorn is wrong and conflating the 6-minute call (which we have audio of and WaPo corrected) with the longer call that the AUDIO IS PUBLIC.

Retweet if you’re not even remotely surprised.

Someone clue me in as to the order of events, what the articles said, timelines, what calls were public and which weren't, etc?

I don't need clarity on Trump or Cawthorn, I know they're full of shit because they always are.
