Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said that a controversial leaked recording of a phone call between the president and a Georgia official was cause for a second impeachment of President Donald Trump.

Ocasio-Cortez made the comments to reporters Sunday as the first day of the new session of Congress began.

"I absolutely think it's an impeachable offense and if it was up to me, there would be articles on the floor quite quickly but he, I mean he is trying to — he is attacking our very election," Ocasio-Cortez said. "He's attacking our very election."

The phone call between the president and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger was obtained and published by the Washington Post on Sunday. In the call, the president asks Raffensperger to find 11,780 votes to overturn the election results.
