“Testifying in court Thursday, top Michigan Republicans linked the organization and execution of a false certificate saying Donald Trump won the state’s 2020 presidential election directly to Trump’s campaign,” the Detroit News reports.
“While the Trump campaign has previously been tied to the overall strategy of crafting electoral certificates in seven battleground states, the testimony Thursday described campaign staffers as being involved in recruiting attendees and running the meeting of the false electors in Lansing on Dec. 14, 2020. During that gathering, 16 Republican activists signed a document that was used to claim the then-incumbent Republican president won Michigan’s 16 electoral votes.”
“The revelations came on the second day of preliminary examinations for six of the Republican electors as Attorney General Dana Nessel’s office pursues criminal forgery charges against those whose names appeared on the false certificate.”
