Special Counsel Investigates Trump's Election Fraud Fundraising Tactics

Federal prosecutors investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol have issued subpoenas to Trump advisers and former campaign aides, Republican operatives, and other consultants involved in the 2020 presidential campaign, seeking documents related to fundraising after the 2020 election. The investigation is focused on whether former President Donald Trump or his advisers scammed donors by using false claims about voter fraud to raise money. Prosecutors are interested in whether anyone associated with the fundraising operation violated wire fraud laws, which make it illegal to make false representations over email to swindle people out of money.
