In a recent development related to the interference in the 2020 election, new information has come to light regarding the frantic attempts by members of Donald Trump's campaign to overturn his election defeat before January 6th. Email exchanges and an audio recording have revealed the extent to which Trump campaign officials, operatives, and even some Republican members of Congress collaborated to prevent Joe Biden from assuming office by using fake elector ballots.
The emails and audio recording showcased the intense scramble that took place on the eve of January 6th, as it was discovered that two fake elector certificates from Michigan and Wisconsin were stuck in the mail. Ken Chesbrough, described as the architect of the fake electors plot, disclosed to investigators the panic that ensued when it was realized that the certificates might not reach Washington, D.C. in time. The general counsel of the Trump campaign, Matthew Morgan, expressed alarm and even considered chartering a private jet to transport the documents. Ultimately, they resorted to commercial flights, but they enlisted the help of a U.S. senator to expedite the process. However, despite their efforts, the fake elector certificates were ultimately not accepted by Vice President Mike Pence, who certified Joe Biden's victory.
