Trump Campaign Allowed Lawyers to Spew False Election Fraud Claims

HeadlineSep 22, 2021

The New York Times reports Donald Trump’s reelection campaign was aware that claims by Trump lawyers that 2020 voting machines were rigged were unfounded. Just days after the campaign determined the voting fraud conspiracies had no merit, Sidney Powell and Rudolph Giuliani held a press conference where they continued to level the false claims.

Meanwhile, the new book by Washington Post journalists Bob Woodward and Robert Costa says a lawyer on Trump’s legal team tried to convince then-Vice President Mike Pence that he could overturn Trump’s election loss by throwing out electors from seven states.
