Trump Accused of Pressuring Michigan Officials:

Trump allegedly pressured Michigan officials to overturn President Joe Biden's win in the 2020 polls.
A new US media report claims that Trump made a phone call to fellow Republicans, urging them to interfere with the election results.

Details of Trump's Phone Call:

On November 17th, 2021, Trump called National Committee chairwoman Rona McDaniel and Wayne County elections authorities Monica Palmer and William Hudman.
During the call, Trump asked them not to certify the election totals, stating that they would look "terrible" if they did so.

Affidavits Issued Against Certification:

In response to Trump's pressure, Palmer and Hudman initially issued affidavits opposing the certification of Wayne County.
The following day, they attempted to change their votes in favor of certification but were unsuccessful.

Legal Developments and Court Decision:

The US Supreme Court denied expediting the case related to Trump's immunity against efforts to overturn the 2020 polls.
The request for expediting the case was raised by US Special Counsel Jack Smith earlier in the week.

Colorado Court Rules Against Trump's 2024 Run:

A Colorado court ruled that Trump's interference in the 2020 elections, including the Capitol riots, disqualified him from running for the 2024 presidential elections.
Despite baseless claims of election theft, Trump's popularity within the Republican party persists, and he remains a frontrunner among conservatives.
