New Details Emerge on Trump Campaign's Efforts to Use Fake Electors to Block Biden's Presidency

Recordings and Emails Reveal Last-Minute Scramble to Deliver Fake Elector Certificates to Pence

  • New details have emerged about the Trump campaign's efforts to use fake electors to block President-elect Joe Biden from taking office, including a scramble to fly copies of the phony certificates from Michigan and Wisconsin to Washington, D.C., two days before the January 6 insurrection.
  • Emails and recordings obtained by CNN indicate that a top Trump campaign lawyer was part of 11th-hour discussions about delivering the fake elector certificates to then-Vice President Mike Pence.
  • Pro-Trump attorney Kenneth Chesebro, an architect of the fake electors plot and now a key cooperator in several state probes into the scheme, provided these details.
  • Chesebro communicated with top Trump campaign lawyer Matt Morgan and another campaign official, Mike Roman, to ferry the documents to Washington on January 5.
  • From there, Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and a Pennsylvania congressman assisted in the effort to get the documents into Pence’s hands.
