Unsealed Court Filings Reveal Rep. Scott Perry's Role in Efforts to Overturn 2020 Election

Perry's Texts with Key Figures Including Jeffrey Clark and Ronna McDaniel Provide Insight into Post-Election Turmoil

Newly unsealed court filings reveal Rep. Scott Perry's extensive involvement in efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, including intimate exchanges with key figures such as former DOJ official Jeffrey Clark, RNC chair Ronna McDaniel, and former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows.
Perry's phone was seized by the FBI in 2022, and he attempted to block prosecutors from accessing its contents. The release of these communications is part of the court's decision to unseal key filings related to the court battle.
The texts show Perry advising Trump campaign lawyer Alex Cannon on challenging the election results in Pennsylvania, discussing efforts to challenge Joe Biden's victory with McDaniel, and supporting Clark as he got involved with plans to subvert the election.
Perry also exchanged texts with other House members, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, about issues related to alleged election fraud.
The court filings were released on Wednesday by a federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., and provide a detailed look at Perry's role in the post-election turmoil.
