President Joe Biden won Michigan in 2020, but Trump and his supporters embraced conspiracy theories to level baseless claims that the election was stolen. The news of the criminal charges in Michigan comes the same day Trump announced he is a target of the federal criminal investigation into the deadly Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol.

Ahead of the 2022 midterm election, Nessel referred her office’s probe into the group of Michigan Republicans whose names appear on the fake certificate of electors to federal authorities.

  1. Chick you do not speak, you are not allowed to make false arrests and false allegiant to this country, shameful what you did what you are still doing, you are not me, stop pretending that you are

  2. How will a State charge their Attorney General ?

  3. GETEM! YEA! Murica!!!

  4. Enjoy prison, losers! 😂

  5. Ill wait for the full story to come to light during Trial before I make an opinion. Democrats have burned their trust, pissed on it, and fed it to dogs. I don't trust any democrat in seat of power, so Ill wait.

  6. Yeah, I heard that on the main stream media stations tonight…….. all of them

  7. Fox News & Trump's lies lead to hundreds of Americans to commit crimes.

    Yet for some deranged reason, Republicans still support Trump.

    I know Republicans are closed-minded but didn't think they are idiots.

  8. Soros-Funded MI SOS Jocelyn Benson’s Voter Rolls Contain “Over 48,000 NON-LEGAL Voter Registrations at Trailer Parks and Apartment Housing Addresses.” Dirty voter rolls are a national security issue. Every citizen should be concerned.

  9. I think a very long stretch of probation will keep their fingers out of the cookie jar! You better believe the next election coming up you're not going to hear peep from then.

  10. Trump cult losers still losing

  11. Now this is what I called draining the real swamp.

  12. These are heroes. This is like signing the Declaration of Independence. MAGA FOREVER 2024

  13. 3am basllot drops that flip the election are not legal. this AG looks and acts like a drug addict.

  14. May these seditious fuckwads enjoy their jail cells, although i doubt they'll get that kind of a sentence. They deserve it, but they're political elites, so they'll get a slap on the wrist.

  15. It makes us wonder how many other states were compromised and got away with it?

  16. Well, k still will vote for Trump 2024 👍🏿
