Sen. Mike Lee’s involvement in attempts to overturn the 2020 election

 

New court filings raise questions about Sen. Mike Lee’s involvement in attempts to overturn the 2020 election

The House committee investigating Jan. 6 Capitol riot will hold its first public hearing Thursday evening.   https://www.sltrib.com/news/politics/2022/06/09/new-court-filings-raise/  Leaked text messages between Utah Sen. Mike Lee and former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows suggest Lee was a participant in the plot to keep Donald Trump in office, a charge Lee vehemently disputes. Recently released court documents could prove problematic for Lee’s defense.

On Thursday, the House select committee will host its first public hearing while investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol and the effort to keep Donald Trump in office despite his election loss in 2020. A focus for the committee is the attempt to appoint alternate Trump electors in states carried by Biden in 2020.
