Former Georgia state Rep. Vernon Jones called on Georgia’s secretary of state to resign following the media misquoting former President Donald Trump’s phone call with a top state investigator about alleged election fraud.
It has now been uncovered that the Georgia Secretary of State’s released a deceptively edited recording of the President, in attempt to embarrass him and mislead the public.

He should resign immediately.
Georgians deserve better.
Reports circulated in January that on a Dec. 23 phone call, Trump told Frances Watson, Georgia's chief investigator of the secretary of state's office, to "find the fraud," and if she did, she would be a "national hero." Media outlets, such as the Washington Post, were forced to issue corrections after the Wall Street Journal published audio of the call Thursday, which contained no such quotes.
State officials initially said audio of the call likely didn't exist, however, it was later found in the trash folder of Watson's device.
The Washington Post based its report on an account by Jordan Fuchs, the deputy secretary of state, not a deceptively edited recording, as Jones claims.
