Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, a Democrat, has been investigating the group for allegedly signing documents showing they were legitimate Electoral College delegates. Their aim was to get Congress to accept their phony certificates for Trump, even though Democrat Joe Biden carried the state by 154,000 votes.
The group includes Meshawn Maddock, former co-chair of the Michigan Republican Party, and Republican National Committeewoman Kathy Berden. Neither could immediately be reached for comment. According to the congressional committee that investigated the U.S. Capitol attack, Trump and his allies sought to overturn his November 2020 defeat by convincing Republican-controlled legislatures in battleground states to name their own Trump-friendly electors or refuse to name any electors.
