Chatfield told Trump Antrim ‘fraud’ conspiracies weren’t true: new book – By Craig Mauger (The Detroit News) / May 18, 2022
Lansing — Then-Michigan House Speaker Lee Chatfield, a top Republican lawmaker, privately told then-President Donald Trump there was no “mass fraud with the voting machines” in Antrim County, according to a new book on the 2020 election.
The book, “This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden and the Battle for America’s Future,” was written by journalists Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns. It debuted May 3.
As Trump and his allies attempted to undermine Democrat Joe Biden’s victory in Michigan’s election, Chatfield, Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey, R-Clarklake, and other state lawmakers made a high-profile trip to Washington, D.C., on Nov. 20 to meet with the president.
