GOP lawyer Cleta Mitchell who helped President Donald Trump on the Jan. 2 call when the president used pressure on Georgia officials in a bid to change the outcome of the election results, has resigned from her law firm. During the call, the president's urged officials to find him votes that would help him win the state, which he lost to President-elect Joe Biden.

Law firm Foley & Lardner had previously raised concern regarding Mitchell's involvement in the president's call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. The National law firm clarified at the time that it wasn't involved in any legal work that challenges the election results. The firm announced Mitchell's departure on Tuesday.

On Jan. 4, the firm issued a statement responding to reports of Mitchell’s involvement in Trump's call. It revealed that Mitchell had informed firm management that she would resign from Foley & Lardner effective immediately, adding that her exit was in the firm's best interests, and in her own personal best interests, firm's spokesman Dan Farrell said.

Farrell said the firm wishes Mitchell well and thank her for her contributions. Following the announcement, her biography was removed from the firm's official website on Tuesday. For several years, Mitchell has been one of the right wing's most notable voices supporting allegations of massive voter fraud, CNN reported.

Mitchell's departure comes after the Washington Post released audio of Trump's call to Raffensperger on Saturday. Refusing to accept his loss to President-elect Joe Biden, the president pressed the top Georgia election official to find 11,780 votes over the phone.

Mitchell, along with White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, accompanied Trump on the aforesaid call. The national law firm's statement clarified that its policy permits its attorneys to take part in observing election recounts, but voluntarily in their individual capacity as American citizens, provided they do not serve as legal advisers.

During the call, Mitchell repeatedly referred to a lawsuit the president brought in a bid to block certification of Georgia's results and his efforts to acquire records from the state. A Georgia lawyer informed Mitchell that the data she had was not correct.

Although it is unclear how Mitchell was involved in the call, she said in her resignation statement that she had a meeting with her firm’s management and has decided to hand over her resignation. Mitchell accused Georgia secretary of state officials of withholding documents, but state officials have refused those allegations.

Before joining the Republican party, Mitchell was a Democrat in Oklahoma’s state House in the 1970s and 80s, according to POLITICO. She represented several high-profile political figures including, Minnesota's Michele Bachmann and Delaware's Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell.
