Ward, chair of the Arizona G.O.P., fought to overturn President Biden's electoral victory in Arizona, and was a part of a bogus slate of electors, which she celebrated on YouTube at the time:
“We believe that we are the electors for the legally cast votes here in Arizona,” she said in a video posted Dec. 15, 2020.
“Ward participated in a scheme to send spurious electoral votes to Congress, a scheme that the committee describes as ‘a key part’ of the ‘effort to overturn the election’ that culminated on Jan. 6,” the two judges wrote.
They added that Ms. Ward had invoked her Fifth Amendment rights when the committee sought to question her. “Having attempted the less intrusive method of asking Ward directly,” the two judges wrote, “the committee has a strong interest in pursuing its investigation by other means.”

Mark Meadows Spills to Special Counsel About Trump’s Election Lies: Report
Mark Meadows has reportedly testified before a federal grand jury impaneled by Special Counsel Jack Smith in exchange for immunity from prosecution in the Justice Department’s election interference case against Donald Trump.
According to ABC News, the former White House chief of staff has testified under oath at least three times, twice before the special counsel’s office and once to a grand jury, regarding the investigation into Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election. Meadows reportedly testified that he had told the former president the election was lost and, according to sources, testified to the DOJ that “obviously we didn’t win.”
As previously reported by Politico, Meadows’ testimony to Georgia prosecutors has provided hints that he may be prepared to flip on Trump there, as well.

At Risk, Ivanka Eventually Comes Clean.
October 2016: Ivanka Trump: Too many Georgians ‘feel their vote has been canceled’: Donald Trump Jr, has leaned into his father’s lies and anti-Democratic conspiracy theories about the electoral process, as reports say his daughter, Ivanka Trump, has urged him to concede — while apparently considering her own political future.
Ms Trump, who quickly displayed her own political ambitions following her father’s 2016 election despite not having any government experience, has mostly stayed silent on the administration’s baseless allegations of mass voter fraud. She posted a single tweet about the issue after Election Day, as her father began ramping up his false claims surrounding mail-in voting and ballot counting: “Every legally cast vote should be counted. Every illegally cast vote should not.” June 2022: The report details how, in the final days of the Trump White House, Jared Kushner would tell anyone who'd listen that he and the wife essentially knew that Dad was a loser before it had been officially called. It's hardly a coincidence that this latest one, which could help shield the couple from any accusation that they played a role in fomenting violence at the Capitol, is emerging just as the January 6 committee is presenting them as the hearings' star attraction.

Cleta Mitchell, a Republican election lawyer, is at center of Republican-backed dark money groups to enact new voting restrictions in time for the 2024 elections.
She is now working through the “Election Integrity Network” (part of the Conservative Partnership Network) to persuade Red states to drop the proven ERIC system of voter validation and adopt a wholly untested private system ("Eagle AI") prejudicing voters who have recently moved, which wrongly disenfranchises voters (including college students in swing and other states) having recently moved. According to Axios, Trump authorized a $1 million donation from his PAC to support Mitchell’s work. Mitchell seeks to disenfranchise

Mr. Clark, Mr. Eastman and Mr. Perry all played roles in the effort to keep Mr. Trump in office, according to extensive evidence gathered by the Senate Judiciary Committee and the House select committee that is looking into the events of Jan. 6. The men also each had direct dealings with Mr. Trump, meaning the inquiry could ultimately lead to the former president.
Mr. Perry was instrumental in pushing Mr. Trump to appoint Mr. Clark as his acting attorney general over the objections of several other top officials at the Justice Department. At one of its presentations, the House committee released text messages in which Mr. Perry repeatedly pressured Mark Meadows, then Mr. Trump’s chief of staff, to reach out to Mr. Clark.
Perry, a five-term congressman who last fall became chair of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, is known both for his vigorous support of Trump and for his history of promoting baseless conspiracies on issues that range from terrorism to the coronavirus to the murder of Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich.

In his failed bid to oversee Arizona elections as Arizona's Secretary of State, Finchem baselessly promoted former President Trump's Big Lie of election and voter fraud.
- Finchem fervently supported the "Stop the Steal" movement, which falsely claimed that Donald Trump won the 2020 election nationally and in Arizona,
- called for the Arizona legislature to appoint "presidential electors of its own choosing" (fake electors),
- was a chief proponent of the discredited post-election ballot review in Arizona (fake audits), and
- and naturally was enthusiastically endorsed by Trump in his bid to oversee future elections in Arizona.
- Election-denier Finchem characteristically has not yet conceded loss of his bid for Secretary of State of Arizona, premised on a promise to root out non-existent voter and election fraud.
