Among others, Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers (R) recoun­ted a campaign by Trump and Rudy Giuliani to get him to submit ille­git­im­ate pro-Trump elect­ors on behalf of his state. Trump called Bowers soon after the elec­tion, and the pres­sure contin­ued from Novem­ber through the morn­ing of Janu­ary 6. Wandrea "Shaye" Moss and her mother Ruby Freeman“I told them I did not want to be used as a pawn,” Bowers told Giuliani and Trump.
