"Michigan AG Charges 16 Fake Electors in Trump Election Conspiracy"

Sixteen Republicans, including prominent figures within the Michigan GOP, have been charged with eight felony counts, including forgery and conspiracy to commit election law forgery, for signing a false certificate claiming that Donald Trump won Michigan's 2020 presidential election. The charges come after a six-month investigation and mark the most serious allegations in Michigan related to attempts to overturn Trump's loss to Joe Biden. The false certificate was sent to the National Archives and Congress, falsely claiming that the Trump electors had met inside the Michigan Capitol, when in fact they had not. Republicans criticized the charges as politically motivated, while Democrats praised them as a step towards accountability and justice.
