Is the Washington Post audio Trumpgate?








The Washington Post obtained an audio recording of a one-hour phone call between Donald Trump, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and Ryan Germany, General Cousel for Georgia Secretary of State.

There is audio of the recording available online. Mostly the same 4 minute audio clip circulating. WAPO has a paywall. 

Very people will listen objectively to even 4 minutes. Partial audio allows it to be spun by both sides. 


Mark Meadows was on the call and others.


WAPO decided to post the entire call and transcript later and after this post was published and after they were also called out by others.

They should have posted the entire recording in the first place. There is still a paywall for  the transcript. They can make that available and post it online for free, if they are really interested in getting out information and in transparency. One transcript isn't going to affect their revenue.

The full transcript posted at CNN.
