just some crazy person placing an ad on craigslist. it s send a message, the indictment, in that it will advise other people around the country that you re going to get arrested for this kind of conduct. of course the investigation may reveal a larger number of people involved, and i would note also the indictment only listed official a, official b. we really don t even know who the people are who were threatened specifically. so i think we have to see what develops from this. that s a great point. let s talk about what marshall cohen was laying out there. i m sure some will say this is hard to believe, but, you know, you have to believe impossible when it comes to what we saw play out with 2020. a plan to pull together fake electors to help overturn the election. when i saw this, i thought this goes way beyond placing a phone call to try to pressure someone or any of the public statements that trump has made that the election was rigged and should be investigated. what do you think
former president s election interference in georgia. the house committee investigating the january 6th insurrection is now requesting testimony from trump s daughter, ivanka, who was a senior white house adviser. from former white house press secretary stephanie grisham, she is cob fiping donald trump held secret meetings in the white house residence days before the insurrection. and on to have of this, cnn reporting reveals that trump campaign officials led by rudy giuliani were plotting and scheming to overturn the election by using fake electors. marshall cohen joins me with more on that one. let s talk about this plot to use fake electors in seven states to try and change the outcome in 2020. what was this all about? kate, as you know, americans go to the polls in november. electors meet in december. that s when they actually certify the results of the election and crowned biden in 2020 as the president-elect. but our reporting is shedding new light on what republicans
