"Trump Lawyers' Settlement Reveals Details of Wisconsin Fake Elector Scheme"

Two attorneys for then-President Donald Trump orchestrated a plan for fake electors to file paperwork falsely claiming the Republican won Wisconsin in an effort to overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 victory, as revealed in a lawsuit settlement. The settlement makes public months of texts and emails, showing coordination with Trump campaign officials and replication of the strategy in six other states. The agreements settle a civil lawsuit brought by Democrats against the attorneys and 10 Republicans in Wisconsin who posed as fake electors, with no admission of wrongdoing. The documents also reveal discussions on swaying public opinion and deflecting blame after the Jan 6 Capitol riot.
