The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that members of the special grand jury investigating Trump’s efforts to overturn his election loss heard a call in which Trump tried to pressure Georgia House Speaker David Ralston into convening a special session of Congress to throw out Biden’s certified election victory.
