Trump's Insurrection: Stop the Steal (Ep 2)

It’s clear that Joe Biden has won the election but Donald Trump will not accept it. First, he brings together a ragtag bunch of lawyers and tries to overturn the results in the courts. He fails. Then he tries to lean on governors and individual states, famously calling Brad Raffensperger and asking him to ‘find’ 11,780 votes in Georgia. He fails. So all he’s left with is January 6th and the hope he can pressure Congress into not certifying the results. Listen to Katty and Anthony discuss Trump’s attempts to deny Biden’s victory in the period between election day and January 6th, in the second episode in this miniseries on how he almost overthrew democracy.
