Jeffrey Clark, a Donald Trump-appointed Justice Department official, told senior officials that China used thermostats to change ballots in the 2020 presidential election.
In a recently released email from December 2020, Clark wrote to his superiors including acting attorney general Jeffrey Rosen and his deputy, Richard Donoghue, and asked them to look into “foreign election interference issues”.
Clark claimed that hackers had evidence that “a Dominion machine accessed the Internet through a smart thermostat with a net connection trail leading back to China.”
The emails were obtained by the House Oversight Committee and reported on by ABC.
