In leaked audio, one of the fake electors told a crowd that the scheme came directly from the Trump campaign. Rudy Giuliani rarely gets good press these days, but it’s been especially bad as of late. Giuliani and the Trump campaign team coordinated a failed scheme to submit illegitimate Republican electors in several states the former president lost in 2020, according to a new report from CNN Thursday, published just days after the former New York mayor-turned-Trump lawyer was subpoenaed by the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. Former President Donald Trump’s team participated in multiple planning calls with state and local Republicans in seven states, according to CNN. They even reportedly helped coordinate meeting places for the Trump-supporting illegitimate electors to meet and circulate fake certificates that later wound up sent to the National Archives. If proven, the accusations would represent some of the clearest evidence so far that people working under Trump were directly and intimately involved in the effort to overturn Joe Biden’s legitimate win in the presidential race.
