Testimonies reveal deception in Michigan's fake elector case
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Detroit News
Testimony in court revealed that top Michigan Republicans tied the false certificate claiming Donald Trump won the state's 2020 presidential election directly to Trump's campaign, with campaign staffers involved in recruiting attendees and running the meeting of the false electors. The testimony could be crucial in proving intent to defraud, as lawyers working for Trump may have directed the Michigan Republicans or the activists may not have understood what they were signing. The preliminary examinations for six Republican electors continue as Attorney General Dana Nessel's office pursues criminal forgery charges.
