Trump is a co-conspirator in Michigan's 2020 false electors plot, state investigator says

(Detroit News) Lansing — Former President Donald Trump and some of his top aides were co-conspirators in the plot to submit a certificate falsely claiming he won Michigan's 2020 election, an investigator for Attorney General Dana Nessel's office testified Wednesday, as new details of the effort to prosecute the alleged scheme took shape in two battleground states.

Howard Shock, a special agent for Nessel, said Trump; Mark Meadows, who was Trump's chief of staff; and Rudy Giuliani, who was his personal lawyer, are considered "unindicted co-conspirators" in Michigan's false elector case. Shock's comments came the same day that 11 Arizona Republican electors and seven other Trump allies, including Meadows and Giuliani, were indicted in Arizona.

In total, over the last two days, Shock, the Michigan investigator, identified 11 conspirators who haven't been charged with a crime. That means Michigan prosecutors believe they participated, to some extent, in an alleged scheme to commit forgery by creating a false document asserting Trump had won Michigan's 16 electoral votes when Democrat Joe Biden had won them.

Shock's testimony highlighted the sixth day of preliminary examinations in Ingham County District Court as Nessel's office pursues felony charges against a group of Republican activists who signed the certificate of votes claiming Trump won. ..............(more)
