JUST IN: Behind closed doors, Ducey said that former president Trump was pressuring him to find fraud in the presidential election in Arizona that would help him overturn his loss in the state, a source with knowledge told CNN.
Publicly, Ducey said at the time that the two Republican leaders had spoken, though he did not describe what they had talked about. Behind closed doors, Ducey said that the former president was pressuring him to find fraud in the presidential election in Arizona that would help him overturn his loss in the state, a source with knowledge said. Trump narrowly lost Arizona to Joe Biden by less than 11,000 votes.
Pence spoke to Ducey multiple times about the election, though he did not pressure the governor as he was asked, sources familiar with the calls said.The Washington Post first reported on Trump pressuring Ducey on overturning the election results. Those efforts include outreach to various state officials, including Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, whom Smith has interviewed. In January 2021, Trump told Raffensperger to “find” the votes he needed to win the state, a callthat’s at the center of the Fulton County district attorney’s investigation into attempts to overturn the election in Georgia.
A Trump spokesperson said in a statement: “These witch-hunts are designed to interfere and meddle in the 2024 election in an attempt to prevent President Trump from returning to the White House to make this country great again. They will fail and President Trump will be re-elected.”
