Investigation opened into Trump’s attempt to overturn Georgia election results

The Georgia Secretary of State has officially opened an investigation into Donald Trump's attempts to overturn his election loss to Joe Biden there.

The investigation comes after the former president was recorded on a phone call to Brad Raffensperger pressuring him to "find" enough votes to reverse his defeat.

Mr Raffensperger's office described the investigation as "fact-finding and administrative" in nature, reports say.

“The Secretary of State’s office investigates complaints it receives,” spokesman Walter Jones told Reuters.
