Summary

Representative Perry was one of President Trump's key congressional allies in the effort to overturn the election's results. When Perry called Donoghue on December 27th, the Pennsylvania Congressman saidthat President Trump asked him to call. Perry said he didn't think DOJ had been doing its job on the election. Because Pennsylvania's election site had not been updated, it led to claims that there were more votes counted than there were actual votes cast in the state.
