LANSING, Mich. — Some of the 16 Michigan Republicans who signed a certificate falsely claiming to cast the state's electoral votes for former President Donald Trump in December 2020 are receiving grand jury subpoenas from federal officials, according to multiple sources.
The development, which was still unfolding in the battleground state on Thursday morning, marked the latest escalation of a national investigation into whether laws were broken by Trump allies as they pushed to challenge and overturn the results of the last presidential election.
It's unclear whether the Michigan Republicans are being sought as witnesses or targets of the investigation.
