Former President Donald Trump encouraged Arizona Republican Senate candidate Blake Masters to talk about election fraud in a phone call revealed as part of a new documentary from Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
The conversation, shown in a Tucker Carlson Original streaming on Fox Nation, took place after Masters said in a debate this month against Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly that there was no evidence of the vote count being rigged in favor of President Joe Biden in 2020.
Trump urged Masters to take cues from Kari Lake, a Republican candidate running for governor in Arizona, who has made election integrity a top priority in her campaign.

“If you want to get across the line, you need to be stronger on that one thing…lot of complaints about. Look at Kari … if they say, ‘How is your family?’ She says, ‘The election was rigged & stolen.’” https://t.co/hiU0TaC3Nx pic.twitter.com/BVtyNuHSuz
