Former President Trump’s White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows questioned the results of the 2020 election just one day after it took place, texting Atty. Gen. Bill Barr on Nov. 4 about looking into a fraud allegation, according to records released by the Justice Department.
, alleging that postal workers in Michigan were being ordered to backdate mail-in ballots so it would appear they arrived by election day.records related to the 2020 election Barr told the committee in his deposition that Meadows would send him information and allegations that the president or others had drawn attention to, and he would send it to staff to determine whether it should be further scrutinized, according to a person familiar with Barr’s testimony who asked to remain anonymous to speak candidly to The Times about the proceedings.
The Nov. 4 text from Meadows is the only one in which Barr replied to Meadows. The former attorney general immediately forwarded the link to his Chief of Staff Will Levi with a note, “Please get to right people.”The texts from Meadows continued, particularly after Barr made the unorthodox decision totelling federal prosecutors that they were allowed to investigate “specific allegations” of voter fraud before the presidential election results were certified.
The affidavit was from Mellissa Carone, a contract IT worker who made several claims about election fraud at a vote-counting center in Detroit, including allegations that she saw ballots illegally scanned multiple times and that vans meant to bring in meals for election workers were hiding tens of thousands of ballots. The document was included in a suit brought by the Trump campaign in Wayne County, Mich.
