Republicans in critical battleground states Biden won in 2020, including Nevada, signed documents falsely asserting that they were their states’ rightful electors and that Trump — not Biden — was the true victor.
McDonald was among the six people from Nevada who signed a document asserting that Trump was the winner of the state’s six electoral votes.
“Many of you remember we were called, they called us fake electors,” McDonald said at a GOP event this summer, according to the Las Vegas Sun.
The Justice Department is also investigating efforts to undermine the 2020 election, including what role the fake elector scheme played.
As far as cooperating with federal investigators, McDonald said, his attorney has acted as a go-between, handling all communications.
