A former Trump campaign adviser has admitted to playing a role in a scheme to have pro-Trump supporters in seven states certify the election for Trump.
On Friday, Ari Melber asked Boris if he ever worked on or supported the elector scheme.
I was part of the process to make sure that the challenges to the seated electors would be heard, and that they would be successful.
The Washington Post reported on Thursday that Epshteyn said he had participated in conference calls with members of Trump's legal team.
According to The Post and CNN, members of Trump's inner circle coordinated the scheme.
According to documents obtained by the watchdog group American Oversight, the illegitimate electors' plan had Trump supporters in seven states submit documents to Congress that they won the states despite the majority of votes going to Joe Biden.
The plan was included in a memo written by an attorney.
During his interview with Melber, he continued to make false claims about election fraud. He said that Hawaii in the 1960 presidential election was a precedent for alternate electors being used.
According to CNN, Richard Nixon had a 141 vote lead over John F. Kennedy in that election. After a recount, Nixon lost and the state changed the outcome of the election.
According to the rules, everything was done by the Trump legal team under the leadership of Rudy Giuliani.
The January 6 House select committee subpoenaed Epshteyn, Guiliani, and others.
Several attorneys general from the seven states with illegitimate electors say they are pursuing investigations.
