Episode notes

The election was already certified. The Electoral College people met and all that was left was the formality of January 6th. Donald Trump's staff called Brad Raffensberger and said, I just need you to find 11,780 votes and spent more than an hour saying there was so much fraud in Georgia. How does that phone call wind up fitting into a criminal investigation? Well, it's usually not a good idea to threaten a sitting elected official. But this is on Trump's doorstep. And the most recent filings and subpoenas we've seen has the prosecutor's finger hovering over the doorbell, so to speak.

Prosecutor Fani Willis and a special grand jury have some questions for the man with the yellow hair. Georgia Public Broadcasting’s Stephen Fowler explains Fulton County’s election interference investigation that appears to be closing in on former President Trump and his allies.

This episode was produced by Hady Mawajdeh, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Victoria Chamberlin, Miles Bryan, Amanda Lewellyn, and Victoria Dominguez, engineered by Paul Robert Mounsey, and hosted by Noel King.
