A state investigator testified that former President Donald Trump and his White House chief of staff are considered uncharged co-conspirators in a scheme to falsely claim victory in Michigan during the 2020 election, despite Joe Biden's clear win. The testimony came during a hearing to determine if there is enough evidence to proceed to trial in forgery charges against over a dozen individuals in Michigan.
During cross-examination, the investigator confirmed that Trump, his chief of staff, Rudy Giuliani, and some high-ranking state Republicans were mentioned as potential unindicted co-conspirators in an alleged plot to manipulate Michigan's electoral votes in favor of Trump. The defense attorney's questioning on this matter was met with surprise by legal experts, who deemed it legally and factually irrelevant to the case.
