'Facts are not favorable': Trump attorney mercilessly grilled on infamous election call to Georgia SOS
CNN’s Pamela Brown recently offered critical remarks for former President Donald Trump's attorney Drew Findling during an intense interrogation about the infamous call he made to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger's (R).
While filling in for CNN's Anderson Cooper, Brown featured an audio excerpt of Trump's conversation with Raffensperger.
“I want to play a part of a phone call from then-President Trump to Georgia Secretary of State Raffensperger that is part of the evidence in this case,” Brown told Findling.
In the recording, Trump could be heard saying, “So look, all I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have because we won the state.”
After playing the audio, Brown asked Findling to weigh in with his take on how the facts could impact the case.
“Are you worried the facts, in this case, are not favorable to your client given what we just heard there and other calls?” asked Brown.
“So, what I’m worried about is people just listen to eight or nine seconds and don’t really look at evidence,” Findling responded. “So, we look at 62 minutes. We look at all the evidence, and looking at all the evidence, we understand and we know that our client did not break any laws whatsoever.”

However, Brown continued her pursuit of an answer.
“But hold on. I do want to focus on this because you said essentially that, you know, that it was taken out of context. I mean, we’ve read through the whole transcript again today. He said, ‘All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we had because we won the state.'”
She also asked, “How is that okay? What is an innocent explanation for that if you’re saying that that is okay?”
“So when I’m going to say, Pamela, is I’m not going to try the case with you or anybody else on TV or in the media,” Findling replied. “I mean, that’s something you deal with in court.”
