"Settlement Reveals Trump Lawyers' Fake Elector Plan in Wisconsin"

Two attorneys for then-President Donald Trump orchestrated a plan for fake electors to file paperwork falsely saying the Republican won Wisconsin in a strategy to overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 victory, as revealed in a lawsuit settlement. The settlement makes public months of texts and emails, showing how the attorneys, with coordination from Trump campaign officials, replicated the strategy in six other states. The agreements settle a civil lawsuit brought by Democrats in 2022 against the two attorneys and 10 Republicans in Wisconsin who posed as fake electors, with no admission of wrongdoing or liability.
