Trump claimed that Rusty Bowers informed him that the election was rigged and that he won Arizona. Rusty Bowers says that claim is false.
Bowers received a call from a colleague saying that the White House was trying to get in touch with her and him, and they wanted to take the call together. Rudy Giuliani came on first, then Trump came on.
Bowers asked Giuliani for proof of their allegations of fraud multiple times. Giuliani said he did have proof of hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants and thousands of dead people who voted. . Bowers asked for names. Giuliani said yes, and that he would give them the names. Trump told Giuliani to give Bowers what he needs. Giuliani never provided any names, evidence, or proof.
Bowers remembers being asked to allow an official committee at a the capitol to hear the evidence and take action thereafter. He refused. "Up to that time, the circus had been brewing with lots of demonstrations" "I didn't want to have that in the house...." "I didn't want to be used as a pawn." \
Bowers: "To what end, the hearing?"
Giuliani: "We have heard by an official high up in the Republican legislature that htere is a legal there in Arizona that you can remove the electors of President Biden and replace them. We would like to have the legitimate opportunity through the committee to come tot hat end and do that.
Bowers: "That's totally new to me. I've never heard of any such thing. You are asking me to do something that is counter to my oath when I swore to uphold the constitution. I also swore to the constitution and the laws of the state of Arizona. This is totally foreign to me, and I would never do anything of such magnitude without consultation with qualified attorneys. I will not break my oath."
Giuliani: "Aren't we all Republicans here? I would think we would get better reception to this."
