The column attacked me for suggesting that the Georgia call was not strong evidence of a crime and that Trump was seeking another recount or investigation. As a threshold matter, Bump suggests (and many have repeated) that Trump was not seeking another recount because the recount had already occurred and Trump never uses the word “recount” in the first call. Obviously, Trump was seeking another recount or investigation. Trump, however, was making the case for another investigation or recount. So, yes, Trump was seeking a recounting or continued investigation.
