President Trump in Muskegon
President Donald Trump tried pursuading two GOP Wayne County Board of Canvassers by phone not to sign the certification of the 2020 presidential election, according to recordings reviewed by The Detroit News.
Trump told cavassers Monica Palmer and William Hartmann in a Nov. 17, 2020, phone call that 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, the Craig Mauger of The News reports, citing the recordings. Republican National Committee Chair Rona Romney McDaniel was on the call as well.
"We've got to fight for our country," said Trump. "We can't let these people take our country away from us."
The News reports:
Palmer and Hartmann left the canvassers meeting without signing the official statement of votes for Wayne County, and the following day, they unsuccessfully attempted to rescind their votes in favor of certification, filing legal affidavits claiming they were pressured.
