"Special Counsel Investigation Targets Fundraising and Voting Equipment Breaches in Election Probe"
Special counsel Jack Smith's investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election continues, with a focus on fundraising and breaches of voting equipment. The investigation is examining how money raised based on baseless claims of voter fraud was used to fund attempts to breach voting equipment in swing states won by Joe Biden. Former Trump lawyer Sidney Powell's role in these efforts is being scrutinized, as her nonprofit, Defending the Republic, hired forensics firms that accessed voting equipment in several states. Powell faces criminal charges in Georgia related to her alleged involvement in a multi-state plot to illegally access voting systems. The investigation also involves other witnesses and states, including Pennsylvania and Michigan.
