Reports of the call published the next month by The Washington Post, CNN, and others quoted Trump as telling Watson to \u201cfind the fraud\u201d and claiming she would be a \u201cnational hero\u201d if she did.<\/p>\n<p>An audio recording of the call <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/news-outlets-issue-major-corrections-after-botching-reports-on-december-phone-call-between-trump-ga-election-investigator\">published<\/a> last week showed that Trump made neither statement, debunking news outlets\u2019 claims that were sourced back to a single anonymous source.<\/p>\n<p>The recording of the call was obtained through an open records request to the Georgia secretary of state\u2019s office. Officials reportedly located the file in a trash folder on Watson\u2019s device, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/03\/14\/politics\/trump-phone-call-georgia-investigator-trash-folder\/index.html\">CNN<\/a>. As the outlet reported on Monday:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"17\">\n<p><em>Officials in the Georgia Secretary of State\u2019s Office located a recently released recording of former President Donald Trump\u2019s call to a state investigator in a trash folder on her device, a state official familiar with the situation confirmed to CNN.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The discovery of the call comes after state officials originally told CNN that they did not think audio of the call existed. The call added to the examples of Trump\u2019s extraordinary efforts to push false claims of widespread voter fraud and influence Georgia election officials as they certified the state\u2019s election results.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The audio file of the December 23 call between the former President and investigator Frances Watson was discovered as the Georgia Secretary of State\u2019s Office responded to a public records request. The personal familiar spoke with CNN on the condition of anonymity to describe the internal process.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/trump-thanks-wapo-for-correcting-latest-media-travesty-blasts-legacy-media-for-acting-like-political-entities\">responded<\/a> to the media scandal in a statement on Monday. The former president thanked the Post, the first outlet to publish the fraudulent quotes, for correcting the story while accusing the larger media of having bias that against Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou will notice that establishment media errors, omissions, mistakes, and outright lies always slant one way \u2014 against me and against Republicans. Meanwhile, stories that hurt Democrats or undermine their narratives are buried, ignored, or delayed until they can do the least harm \u2014 for example, after an election is over,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook no further than the negative coverage of the vaccine that preceded the election and the overdue celebration of the vaccine once the election had concluded. A strong democracy requires a fair and honest press,\u201d he added. \u201cThis latest media travesty underscores that legacy media outlets should be regarded as political entities \u2014 not journalistic enterprises. In any event, I thank the Washington Post for the correction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/they-made-up-quotes-wapo-ripped-for-reporting-fraudulent-trump-quotes-on-call-with-ga-investigator\">\u2018They Made Up Quotes\u2019: WaPo Ripped For Reporting Fraudulent Trump Quotes On Call With GA Investigator<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
