The Justice Department’s issuance of new subpoenas was first reported byThe Washington Post.
The fake elector plan is the focus of one of two known prongs of the Justice Department’s broad grand jury investigation of Trump’s multiple and interlocking attempts to subvert the election. The other has focused on a wide cast of political organisers,White House aides and members of Congress connected in various ways to Trump’s incendiary speech near the White House that directly preceded the storming of the Capitol on January 6,2021.
