Donald Trump Wisconsin Election Fraud Case: Fake Elector Admits He Was Tricked To Signing Fake Document Claiming Trump Won
Now-convicted felon Donald Trump may also be in legal trouble in Wisconsin over his alleged election interference in the case after one of his fake electors admitted to being tricked into signing a false document that falsely claimed he won the state during the 2020 presidential election.
Andrew Hitt, an attorney and former chairman of the Wisconsin state Republican Party, sat down with Anderson Cooper for CBS News's "60 Minutes" and admitted that he was tricked by the former president's lackeys back in 2020.
Donald Trump's fake elector scheme ran in several key battleground states, including Wisconsin, Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, and Nevada, where criminal charges have already been filed against these fake electors.
Hitt told Cooper in the interview that he sent Congress paperwork that he signed as an elector for Donald Trump, certifying that the then-president won Wisconsin. He has since flipped but has admitted that he was scared of what Trump supporters would do to him or his family because of this.
"... If I didn't do that, and the court did throw out those votes, it would have been solely my fault that Trump wouldn't have won Wisconsin," he told Cooper. Can you imagine the repercussions on myself, my family if it was me, Andrew Hitt, who prevented Donald Trump from winning Wisconsin?"
Biden won Wisconsin by 21,000 votes, with Trump demanding a recount in Dane and Milwaukee counties. The recount only confirmed Biden's win in the state but Trump continued to double down on his claims that he won.
Hitt noted that he received a call from the Republican National Committee and became suspicious when they asked for a list of the Wisconsin Republican electors. He admitted that he did not believe there was any widespread fraud and was tricked by the state GOP's outside legal counsel to gather the other Republican electors to sign the fraudulent document declaring Trump as the victor in the state.
Donald Trump Fake Electors Case Still Being Investigated in Michigan
Much like neighboring Wisconsin, Trump's attempts to steal the election through fake electors is also being investigated in Michigan and the probe there is still very much "open and active," according to the Seattle Times.
In the state, Trump is still considered an unindicted co-conspirator, but Howard Shock, an agent for the Michigan Attorney General's Office, stated that "He's part of the investigation, but he hasn't been charged with a crime yet" as this is still "an open investigation."
Donald Trump Supporters Are Attempting to Dox the Porn Star Hush Money Trial Jurors
Meanwhile, as Trump may be facing more state charges that he could not reverse should he win the presidency, his supporters are continuing the calls for violence after he was found guilty of falsifying business records in the porn star hush money trial. This time, however, his followers are targeting the jurors.
"Hope these jurors face some street justice," one anonymous user wrote in an online forum, while another asked, "Wouldn't [it] be interesting if just one person from Trump's legal team anonymously leaked the names of the jurors?"
Violent rhetoric has become a part of Donald Trump's campaign as he aims to get back into the White House while also battling serious criminal indictments. He has promised to become a dictator on Day 1 and has vowed to go after his political enemies and use the DOJ to do so.
