Investigator Identifies Trump and Others as “Unindicted Co-Conspirators” in Michigan Fake Electors Case

Investigator for the Michigan Attorney General’s Office Identifies Trump and Others as Unindicted Co-Conspirators in Fake Electors Case

In a shocking development, a special investigator for the Michigan Attorney General’s Office has identified multiple individuals, including former President Donald Trump, as “unindicted co-conspirators” in the ongoing investigation of the Michigan fake electors case. The preliminary examination continued on Wednesday, revealing a list of prominent figures allegedly involved in the plot.

Among those named as unindicted co-conspirators are Trump lawyers Jenna Ellis and Rudy Giuliani, Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, Chris Velasco, who worked for Trump’s campaign in Michigan, and Kenneth Chesebro, who previously pleaded guilty in Georgia for his role in organizing the multi-state fake electors scheme.

Former Michigan Republican Party Chair Laura Cox, Republican strategist Stu Sandler, GOP former Michigan House Speaker Tom Leonard, and his wife Jenell Leonard were also identified in the investigation. Leonard, who was defeated by now-Attorney General Dana Nessel in the 2018 election, expressed his dismay at being falsely implicated in court testimony.

The examination also revealed that 15 individuals, including Michigan GOP National Committeewoman Kathleen Berden and former Michigan GOP Co-Chair Meshawn Maddock, are facing charges in the fake electors case. Examinations for six of the defendants concluded on Wednesday, with proceedings set to resume for the remaining nine on May 28.

The charges against the defendants include forgery, conspiracy to commit forgery, uttering and publishing, conspiracy to commit uttering and publishing, and election law forgery. Each defendant faces a maximum sentence of 14 years in prison for forgery-related charges and 5 years for election law charges.

In a related development, 18 people were charged in Arizona on Wednesday as part of the fake electors plot, with names redacted in court documents. However, reports indicate that individuals such as Trump, Giuliani, Meadows, and Mike Roman, director of Election Day operations for the Trump campaign, were among those charged.

The revelations in both Michigan and Arizona shed light on the extent of the alleged conspiracy to submit false electoral votes for Donald Trump in the 2020 election. As the investigations continue, the implications for those involved could be significant.
