Then-President Donald Trump personally pressured two Republican members of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers not to sign the certification of the 2020 presidential election, according to recordings reviewed by The Detroit News and revealed publicly for the first time.

On a Nov. 17, 2020, phone call, which also involved Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, Trump told Monica Palmer and William Hartmann, the two GOP Wayne County canvassers, they'd look "terrible" if they signed the documents after they first voted in opposition and then later in the same meeting voted to approve certification of the county’s election results, according to the recordings.

"We've got to fight for our country," said Trump on the recordings, made by a person who was present for the call with Palmer and Hartmann. "We can't let these people take our country away from us."

McDaniel, a Michigan native and the leader of the Republican Party nationally, said at another point in the call, "If you can go home tonight, do not sign it. ... We will get you attorneys."

I doubt Uncle Mitt would move a finger for her if Smith did.

[OAITW r.2.0]

2. Why hasn't the recording been released?

This was an organized attempt to overthrown an election where 8MM more people voted for Biden.

[onecaliberal]

3. Lock up the orange traitor.

[keithbvadu2]

4. "We will get you attorneys."... Oh, yeah! Trust Trump's word.

[Kid Berwyn]

5. Guess that connects the kingpin to the conspiracy.

Treason, directed by, and at the behest of, Donald John Trump.

Lordy, there are tapes.

[PTL_Mancuso]

29. How smokey of a gun is needed here?

The fat turd just continues to skate and the media keeps treating his crimes as normal Presidentin' . This is Sooooo f|_|[ked up!

[dweller]

6. Another day

Another insurrectiony fact … what will it take to lock this traitor up ?


✌🏻

[BaronChocula]

7. Sounds like Trump had an accomplice

"Help me Ronna yeah
Tear the country apart"

[AverageOldGuy]

8. How many . . .

. . . Republican electors -- both real and phony -- did Trump call?

Goddam, but this thing gets deeper and deeper by the day.

[bluestarone]

9. PROOF to why he wants

Immunity!!! He's dead meat and he KNOWS it! Way past time for this russian terrorist to be in PRISON.

[Evolve Dammit]

10. Lock him up. Projest 2025 has 35,000 lawyers lined up and 20,000 fed employees tested for Loyalty to take over. This

ain't no party, this ain't no foolin' around.

[bluestarone]

13. Does the SC know about project 2025?

They need to be informed.

[Sky Jewels]

14. Shit, Clarence Thomas & Wifey (Ginny the Traitor)

probably helped plot it all out.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

23. Do you think they care?

I don't. Not with that gang of traitors on the thug side.

[bluestarone]

25. Well, just hope they are smart enough to know their very existence in jeopardy!

TFG wins, these judges WILL be ELIMINATED!! I know this.

[Evolve Dammit]

39. Who the hell knows? Probably not. In which case, they are far from "Supreme" and more like low-information voters

[LymphocyteLover]

11. I remember there were hints of this back then but why is this call coming out now?

[FakeNoose]

26. Detroit News just published this story yesterday

I don't know who informed them, maybe it was anonymous.

We need to hear the recording of Chump though. It should be made public, don't you agree?

[LymphocyteLover]

38. for sure-- especially if this helps convict the mofo

[UpInArms]

15. That he still lives freely

Is baffling to me

[Mz Pip]

20. That people still support him

is baffling to me. The loyalty is scary.

[tinrobot]

16. Ronna Romney McDaniel is an accomplice

No wonder the Republicans are desperately trying to stonewall this... almost ALL of them were in on it.

Jeez... and what does her uncle Mitt think of this?

[liberal N proud]

17. The cult don't care

[mercuryblues]

18. Just an FYI

William Hartman died of Covid in Dec of 2021, quell your surprise, this insane trump supporter was also a vehement ant-vaxer and Covid denier.

Funny thing about Covid. It doesn't care if you think it is a hoax or not. It will infect you just the same.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

24. I'd recheck that date if I were you

That, or you're confusing William Hartmanns. One of them had to be, you know, alive in 2020 for Cheeto Benito to call him.

[mercuryblues]

27. Thanks. I fixed it.

30. Thanks for the Large Print Edition!

It made my already simmering blood boil over!

21. Repukes conspire to commit election fraud while screeching about voter fraud.

[Novara]

22. I wanna know why she hasn't been charged yet. Also?

You know where they did this? Wayne County, which contains Detroit. They chose Biden by 40%, so this would not have made a difference.

It should come as no surprise that they tried to disenfranchise Black voters ust because they wanted to.

[NowISeetheLight]

28. Really?

If you say "We will get you attorneys" it kind of implies you know its wrong.

[Freethinker65]

32. Free speech, blanket immunity...enough for unlimited delays

[NewJeffCT]

33. Why is this coming out now?

and not in 2021 or so like Trump's call to Georgia?

[DownriverDem]

34. One of the repub

canvassers in Wayne County resigned after the certification was over.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

35. Who knows what else will be dug up

[BigmanPigman]

36. I just learned you can record your conversation

on a smart phone. Chris Hayes mentioned it to George Conway.

[donte]

37. Yes it is true Trump was busted committing ANOTHER CRIME!

But if Scotus says you can't prosecute an ex president, then trump escapes any accountability AGAIN!!
