COBB COUNTY, Ga. — Channel 2 Action News has obtained a copy of a new phone call between former President Donald Trump and a lead investigator at the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office.

The call took place just before Christmas and two months after the election and it gives a new look at the outside pressure that Georgia investigators faced while investigating allegations of election fraud.

Hear from the state investigator who was on the other end of the phone call, exclusively on Channel 2 Action News at 6 p.m.

In the call, Trump mentions other states in the South where he defeated President Joe Biden, including Florida and Alabama and questions how he didn’t win Georgia. He also pressures the agent to check signatures on ballots going back several years to verify their accuracy.

The Georgia Secretary of State’s Office investigated allegations that Cobb County improperly performed signature matches during the June primary and ordered a signature audit for the November election in the county.

Mark Meadows, Trump’s former Chief of Staff, made an unannounced visit on Dec. 22 to the Marietta site where the audit was taking place.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation completed the audit a week later. Secretary Brad Raffensperger said there were only two mismatched signatures among the more than 15,000 votes in the audit.

This is not the first phone call that the former president made to Georgia election officials and investigators.

Channel 2 Action News previously reported on another phone call that lasted more than an hour on Jan. 2 between Trump, Raffensperger, his attorney Ryan Germany and White House senior staff members.

During the call, Trump asked Raffensperger to “find” him 11,000 more votes and to overturn his defeat in the state.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis opened an investigation into the phone call. DA Fani Willis said she will look at all the evidence before making a decision about whether to file charges against Trump, and what those charges would be.
