President Trump called a Republican senator urging him to object to additional Electoral College state tallies as the mob he incited stormed the Capitol.

Trump, who had, only a short time earlier, encouraged his supporters to march to Congress to demand they stop the Electoral College certification, called Utah Sen. Mike Lee shortly after 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, but he was looking for Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville, according to CNN. A spokesperson for the Utah senator confirmed the call.
