A newly revealed recording captures former President Donald Trump attempting to influence Michigan officials not to certify the 2020 presidential election results. In the recording, Trump urges two Michigan canvassers to withhold their signatures from certifying the state’s election results, promising legal support through hired lawyers if they comply with his request. CNN legal analyst Sarah Krissoff believes that this revelation could significantly strengthen the case being built by Special Counsel Jack Smith, emphasizing the recording’s potential impact on the upcoming trial scheduled in Washington D.C. next year. Krissoff notes the potency of the recording as tangible evidence supporting witness testimonies about Trump’s alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election. The emergence of this recording adds complexity to the ongoing investigation into election subversion allegations, with its potential impact on legal proceedings and public perception at the forefront of discussions.
