Former President Donald Trump’s attorney defended Mr. Trump’s phone call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in January 2021, saying his client wanted “the truth” when asking the state’s top election official to find votes.
During an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday, attorney John Lauro dismissed allegations that the former president had done anything wrong in his call to Mr. Raffensperger, which was part of the evidence for Mr. Trump’s second impeachment and subsequent exoneration.
