ATLANTA — Congressional investigators Thursday released transcripts of interviews with two Fulton County election workers whose lives were upended by then-President Donald Trump’s false allegations of voting fraud.
Wandrea “Shaye” Moss and her mother, Ruby Freeman, spoke in the spring to a U.S. House of Representatives panel investigating the events that led to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. During a public hearing in June, they recounted how Trump’s lies fueled threats against them and forced Freeman to flee her own home.
The transcripts released Thursday offer a more detailed account. In her interview, Moss placed the blame squarely on Trump and Rudy Giuliani, the attorney who spun a false tale of fraud involving the election workers during his appearance at a state Senate hearing in December 2020. The secretary of state’s office, the FBI and a U.S. attorney’s office investigated the claims and found the election workers did nothing improper.
