One of the key pieces of evidence used by the Left to assert that Trump was trying to overturn the 2020 election was a supposed call to the Georgia Secretary of State demanding that the state "find the fraud" and telling an investigator that she would be a "national hero". The call had been secretly recorded but "accidently" deleted. But a copy was recovered from a computer showing that key details were changed in the Washington Post's reporting eliciting the following from the Post:
Correction: Two months after publication of this story, the Georgia secretary of state released an audio recording of President Donald Trump’s December phone call with the state’s top elections investigator. The recording revealed that The Post misquoted Trump’s comments on the call, based on information provided by a source. Trump did not tell the investigator to “find the fraud” or say she would be “a national hero” if she did so. Instead, Trump urged the investigator to scrutinize ballots in Fulton County, Ga., asserting she would find “dishonesty” there. He also told her that she had “the most important job in the country right now.” A story about the recording can be found here. The headline and text of this story have been corrected to remove quotes misattributed to Trump.
Of course, the damage has been done and will not be undone.
