A series of emails expose an Arizona effort to retroactively hand the 2020 Arizona election to Donald Trump, even though the GOP’s own audit showed he lost.
Newly released emails show that in early Dec. 2020, Trump officials and Republican allies were using the then-president’s conspiracy campaign to uncover some kind of fraud that could be used to overturn the results.
“The emails show how a group of fringe election sleuths pressed state legislators on a plan to disrupt the 2020 election certification and potentially change the vote count in a battleground state that helped deliver Joe Biden the presidency,” the report explained. “The emails also reveal that several Trump advisers, including campaign lawyer Jenna Ellis and legal adviser Bernie Kerik, were included in the discussion.”
