ATLANTA — Federal investigators have stepped up their investigation into a phony slate of GOP electors in Georgia designed to help former President Donald Trump’s failed effort to overturn Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election.
The Justice Department has sought records from Brad Carver, an attorney and Republican activist who was among the 16 fake electors, according to several people with knowledge of the investigation. The Washington Post reported the activity is part of a broader probe involving phony electors in several states.
Carver and several other members of the slate didn’t immediately respond or declined to comment.
