Fake Electors Scheme: Trump Campaign Submits Fake Electoral Certificates (2020-12-14)

Trump campaign operatives convene fake electors in seven swing states — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Nevada, and New Mexico — who sign false certificates declaring Trump the winner. The fake certificates are sent to the National Archives and Congress. The scheme, orchestrated by Trump lawyer John Eastman and campaign officials, becomes a central part of the January 6 committee's criminal referral and the Georgia indictment of Trump and 18 co-conspirators.
