Federal prosecutors questioning witnesses about Trump's conduct related to Jan. 6 inquiry
WASHINGTON – Federal prosecutors have been questioning witnesses about the conduct of former President Donald Trump as part of an inquiry into an effort to overturn the 2020 election, a person familiar with the matter said.
The action is part of a more aggressive review of attempts by the former president's allies to intervene in the election by substituting fake electors to tilt the vote in key states and to pressure former Vice President Mike Pence to block the certification of President Joe Biden's election.
While the source said prosecutors have recently questioned witnesses about Trump, the person declined to describe the queries in detail.
The examination of Trump's actions in the run-up to the Jan. 6 insurrection was first disclosed by The Washington Post, which cited four people familiar with the matter.
