Giuliani left a voicemail intended for Senator Tommy Tuberville asking that objections be used to slow the electoral count, and later reached members after Congress reconvened to encourage continued objections. The January 6 committee documented the calls as a continuation of Trump's effort to prevent or delay the lawful transfer even after the violent interruption.
