前总统唐纳德·特朗普据知情人士透露，他试图向时任州长道格·杜西(Doug Ducey)施压，以推翻亚利桑那州2020年总统选举的结果。首先是华盛顿邮报据报告的这些指控。
消息人士还向美国广播公司新闻证实，川普派遣前副总统迈克·彭斯向杜西施压，要求他在该州发现欺诈性选票，虽然彭斯在选举后多次打电话给杜西，但他没有遵守这些命令。

消息人士告诉ABC新闻，电话没有录音。
Ducey的一位发言人称这份报告“只不过是过去两年的文章汇编的‘复制和粘贴’，伪装成新的东西。”

“州长杜西为亚利桑那州2020年的选举结果进行了辩护，他对选举进行了认证，并明确表示，这一认证引发了有证据支持的可信投诉。没有人被提出来。这位发言人在一份声明中说:“州长坚持他的行动来证明选举，并认为这个问题已经过去了——是时候继续前进了。”。
特朗普的竞选团队在回应报道时重申了这位前总统的观点，即“2020年总统选举被操纵和窃取”，但没有反驳这个故事。
“这些政治迫害旨在干涉和干预2024年的选举，试图阻止特朗普总统重返白宫，让这个国家再次伟大起来，”特朗普竞选团队的声明说。
Trump pressured former Arizona governor to overturn 2020 election results
Former PresidentDonald Trumpattempted to pressure then-Gov. Doug Ducey to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in Arizona , according to multiple sources familiar with the matter. The Washington Post firstreportedthe allegations.
Sources also confirm to ABC News that Trump dispatched former Vice President Mike Pence to pressure Ducey to find fraudulent votes in the state, and that while Pence did call Ducey multiple times in the aftermath of the election, he did not follow those orders.
Trumpnarrowly lostArizona to Joe Biden in November 2020.
No recording of the call was made, sources told ABC News.
A spokesperson for Ducey called this reporting "nothing more than a 'copy and paste' of a compilation of articles from the past two years, disguised as something new."
"Governor Ducey defended the results of Arizona’s 2020 election, he certified the election, and he made it clear that the certification provided a trigger for credible complaints backed by evidence to be brought forward. None were ever brought forward. The Governor stands by his action to certify the election and considers the issue to be in the rear view mirror — it’s time to move on," the spokesperson said in a statement.
Trump's campaign, in response to the reporting, reiterated the former president's view that "the 2020 Presidential election was rigged and stolen," but did not refute the story.
"These witch-hunts are designed to interfere and meddle in the 2024 election in an attempt to prevent President Trump from returning to the White House to make this country great again," the statement from Trump's campaign said.
