Jan. 6 final report details Trump’s ‘reckless’ attempt to overturn Georgia vote | apartment

ATLANTA — Former President Donald Trump has “recklessly” circulated lies about voter fraud at a ballot counting center in Atlanta, despite being told at least four times his claims were false, according to the final report of the House panel that investigated the Jan. 6 attack that investigates US Capitol.

The document reported that Trump’s top adviser, Mark Meadows, had campaigned for state Senator Marty Harbin to support a special legislative session to install pro-Trump electors after Joe Biden took over the state and wrote in a text that “the state legislature can take over the election process.”
