New Details Emerge of Trump's Attempts to Overturn Georgia Election Results
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Washington Post is reporting Trump pressured Georgia's top elections
investigator to "find the fraud" in another phone call he made to
Georgia officials in an attempt to overturn election results. Experts
say the call could constitute obstruction of justice or other criminal
violations.

In related news, The Wall Street Journal reported White House officials
pushed Atlanta's top federal prosecutor to step down ahead of Georgia's
Senate runoffs over concerns he wasn't doing enough to investigate
Trump's baseless claims of election fraud. U.S. Attorney Byung J. Pak,
who was appointed by Trump, resigned last Monday.
