US President Donald Trump has been recorded telling Georgia's top election official to "find" enough votes to overturn Biden's presidential win.
In a recording released by the Washington Post, Trump tells Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, "I just want to find 11,780 votes."
However, Raffensperger replies that Georgia's election results are correct.
Joe Biden won with 306 electoral college votes to Trump's 232 as he won Georgia alongside other swing states.
According to Vice-President-elect Kamala Harris, Trump's comments shows a bold abuse of power.
Trump has been making unsubstantiated allegations of widespread electoral fraud since the November 3 2020 vote.
Despite legal appeals and recounts all 50 states have certified the election result establishing Biden as the President-Elect.
Biden is due to be inaugurated as president on 20 January after Congress formally approves the election result on 6 January.
