Trump campaign paid researchers to prove 2020 fraud but kept findings secret

The report was never released publicly after researchers found no evidence that the election had been rigged for Joe Biden.

The Washington Post

#january6thcmte gave a final blow to Trump’s very bad year and made it for most of the rest of us.
