I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more that we have because we won the state.

President Trump is using what he believes is the power of his position to threaten me

if we don't do what he tells us to do.

Rathansberger writes about the phone call in his new book called Integrity Counts, essentially

accusing the president of criminal conduct.

Rathansberger's stark conclusions could make him a crucial witness in the still ongoing

investigation of Trump's conduct by Fulton County District Attorney Fanny Willis.
