evidence: Washington Post Issues Massive Correction to Report on Trump Call to Georgia Official That ‘Misquoted’ His Comments The Washington Post has issued a correction to an earlier story that had quoted former President Donald Trump as instructing a Georgia election official "find the fraud" in the state, after audio of the phone call was released. [...] Correction: Two months after publication of this story, the Georgia secretary of state released an audio recording of President Donald Trump’s December phone call with the state’s top elections investigator. The recording revealed that The Post misquoted Trump’s comments on the call, based on information provided by a source. Trump did not tell the investigator to "find the fraud" or say she would be "a national hero" if she did so. Instead, Trump urged the investigator to scrutinize ballots in Fulton County, Ga., asserting she would find "dishonesty" there. He also told her that she had "the most important job in the country right now." A story about the recording can be found here. The headline and text of this story have been corrected to remove quotes misattributed to Trump.
