Trump attorney: Michigan fake electors are being pressured to testify against Trump
Christina Bobb, an attorney for Donald Trump, claimed that 16 Republican fake electors were charged in Michigan in an effort to force them to testify against her client.
The 16 so-called fake electors were charged this week in connection to a plot to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
During a Wednesday interview with Steve Bannon, Bobb linked the Michigan charges to potential indictments of Trump for his role in the plot.
"They're trying to scare conservatives away from voicing their opinion voicing any type of dissent," Bobb said. "They're really going after political dissent from their offices. So there were charges referred against 16 electors in Michigan within 24 hours of President Trump announcing that he had received a target letter from Jack Smith's office regarding January 6."
Bobb compared the fake slate of electors to someone who tried to forge their own check.
"Usually forgery means you're trying to make something look like something it's not," she explained. "If you sign your own name to your own check, that's not a forgery. That's just a check, and that's what we have here. They filled out their own names. They signed their own names as Trump electors."
According to the attorney, the case against the fake electors was "nonsensical."
"It appears to be a way to threaten the electors into testifying because remember, now all these people they've indicted are supposed to be witnesses against President Trump in Jack Smith's investigation," she opined. "So it appears to be a way to threaten witnesses, saying, if you don't testify against Donald Trump the way we want you to, we're throwing you in jail."
