On the 6th (local time), even in an emergency situation in which supporters of the President of the United States, Donald Trump, stormed the Capitol, destroyed equipment and occupied the president’s seat, President Trump addressed the senators Republicans to postpone the certification of President-elect Joe Biden. Reports came out asking for it. He made no effort to fix the unprecedented case that democracy came under attack, but he got stuck only in reversing the election results.
The US CNN broadcast quoted Republican Senator Mike Lee on the 9th as saying, “During the congressional riots, President Trump and his attorney Rudy Giuliani called Lee because they did not understand the phone number.” “These are another Republican Senator Tony. I tried to persuade Tuberville to delay verifying the voting results of each state presidential constituency.”
Representative Lee’s first phone call was around 2 pm. At that time, the legislators were evacuated due to the occupation of the Capitol by protesters. When Rep. Lee answered the phone, the other party went to Tuberville and said he was President Trump. Rep. Lee handed Rep. Tuberville his phone without hanging up, while Rep. Tuberville spoke to President Trump for more than 10 minutes. In the call, President Trump asked Tuberville to appear as an additional opponent at the ballot results meeting.
At 7 pm, Senator Lee received another call. This time it was Juliani’s lawyer. It was a phone call that I thought was a member of Tuberville. Senator Lee was unable to answer the phone, but left a voicemail message. “I am calling Republican supporters to discuss how much it takes to delay this meeting,” Giuliani said. An hour later, at 8:00 p.m., a joint meeting of the House and Senate was scheduled to resume, which had been suspended due to the invasion of parliament. “I know the meeting will be held again at 8 pm,” Giuliani said, “but the only strategy we can do is to move the matter to tomorrow by opposing the election results in many states.
CNN reported that Tuberville was unaware that Juliani had contacted him until media reports came out. Tuberville is one of six Republican senators who voted to protest the results of the Arizona election. President Trump found it urgently because he believed it would support his claim. CNN added that President Trump urged Republican senators to refuse to certify the results of the vote even after the meeting resumed.
