Republicans in Michigan testified in a Lansing court that Donald Trump's campaign was directly involved with putting together a team to create a false certificate that said he won the 2020 presidential election.
Former Michigan Republican Party Communications Director Tony Zammit said he thought people such as Trump lawyer Shawn Flynn had taken advantage of people who ended up signing the document.
"I thought they were going along with what the lawyers were telling them," he said in a preliminary hearing Thursday, according to The Detroit News. Zammit said the meeting took place on December 14.
So senior Republican party officials in Michigan are just in the habit of signing their name to legal paperwork without asking what it means? If we can't trust your signature how can we trust anything you say?
No, the Trump campaign was a bunch of criminals who came to you with the idea of doing a crime, but MI Republicans knew or should have known what was being asked of them. Everyone involved in this on the Trump campaign side and Republican party side belongs in prison.
Republicans in Michigan testified in a Lansing court that Donald Trump's campaign was directly involved with putting together a team to create a false certificate that said he won the 2020 presidential election.
Zammit's testimony came in the preliminary hearings of six Republican electors charged with "intent to defraud" by Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel's office.
The 16, all charged with criminal forgery, signed a document that falsely said Trump won Michigan and was filed to the National Archives and Congress.
Upon reviewing evidence and testimony, Judge Kristen Simmons will rule at the end of the hearings if there is enough to send the cases to jury trial.
During the hearings this week, former state GOP Chair Laura Cox testified she approved a document that Republican electors would cast votes for Trump if the election result was overturned.
Also in Michigan this week, the state Court of Appeals confirmed that it would not prevent Trump from appearing on the presidential ballot in 2024.
