16 people have already been charged in Michigan for signing paperwork falsely asserting that Trump had won the state in 2020. Now a tape has surfaced of Trump pressuring two Republican members of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers to not sign the official documents as is required by law. Also on the call, Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel is heard saying they would look "terrible" if they signed the papers and that "we will get you attorneys." To which Trump added: "We'll take care of that."
