Lansing — Members of then-President Donald Trump's administration shared "talking points" and false claims about the election in northern Michigan's Antrim County with federal prosecutors, emails released Tuesday by the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Reform show.

The documents reveal the 23,000-person county, where errors by election workers were turned into unsubstantiated theories about software manipulation, was on the minds of top U.S. officials on Dec. 14, the day presidential electors met to cast their votes for Democrat Joe Biden.

Dec. 14 was also the day that Trump announced on social media that U.S. Attorney General William Barr would be stepping down and Deputy Attorney General Jeff Rosen would take over. At 4:57 p.m. Dec. 14, Molly Michael, an aide to the president, emailed two documents on Antrim County's election to Rosen.

The subject line of the email from Michael said the information was "from POTUS," referring to the president of the United States.

A summary document focused on Antrim County, which was attached to the message, levied unsubstantiated claims about Michigan's election, which Biden won by 154,000 votes or 3 percentage points. Bipartisan boards of canvassers, a series of court rulings and dozens of audits performed by election officials have reinforced the outcome.
