Georgia's Raffensperger was unaware lawyers were recording Trump's phone call demanding he find more votes

Appearing on NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) revealed that he had no idea his infamous phone call with former president Donald Trump was being recorded by attorneys working for the state.

Speaking with host Chuck Todd, the Republican state official said the only reason the audio of the phone call was released was that Trump had lied about it.

Then he made an admission that startled host Todd.

"At the time of our conversation I didn't know we were being recorded until the next morning that tweet comes out there," Raffensperger confessed.

That led host Todd to press, "Who did the recording?"

"There was someone -- because we had lawsuits going on, and actually were sued by the Trump campaign, I understood there would be lawyers there and they treated it like a deposition. I guess our office felt it should be treated that way also so that everything should be factually recorded and people couldn't spin it up later,' he revealed.
