Former President Donald Trump, his former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, and Rudy Giuliani are unindicted co-conspirators in the Michigan attorney general’s lawsuit against the state’s alleged “fake electors” in the 2020 election, according to a state investigator testifying in court Wednesday.
Last year, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel charged 16 Republicans with forgery and conspiracy to commit election forgery for allegedly attempting to substitute Michigan’s electoral votes for Joe Biden with electoral votes for Trump during the vote certification on January 6, 2021.

During Wednesday’s hearing, which was part of the preliminary examinations for the alleged phony electors, Howard Shock, a special agent for the attorney general’s office, testified that former Trump attorney Jenna Ellis is also an unindicted co-conspirator.
Shock’s revelation came in response to queries from Duane Silverthorn, an attorney for Michele Lundgren, one of the alleged false electors.
“Finally, former President Donald Trump?” Silverthorn inquired.
“Yes,” Shock stated.
According to Ted Goodman, Giuliani’s political consultant, the former New York City mayor is “proud to stand up for the countless Americans who raised legitimate concerns surrounding the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election.”
Highly partisan actors won’t bully or pressure him into silence, the statement said.
In October, Nessel withdrew charges against one of the accused fraudulent electors in exchange for his cooperation in the probe. The state is still pursuing charges against the remaining 15 defendants.
All of the accused have pleaded not guilty.
