Nessel, a Democrat who previously referred the matter to federal prosecutors, told reporters that she is “a little worried” that more than a year has passed since she referred cases related to the false slates of electors to the Justice Department and believes there is “clear evidence” to support charges against the fake electors from Michigan.
“What we have seen from the January 6 committee is an overwhelming amount of evidence. I thought that there was already a substantial amount of evidence in that case. But now, there is just clear evidence to support charges against those 16 false electors, at least in our state,” Nessel said.
“Quite candidly, yes, we are re-opening our investigation because I don’t know what the federal government plans to do,” she added.
CNN has reached out to the Justice Department for comment.
Nessel said last January that her office had been evaluating charges related to the effort to put forward a slate of fake electors from Michigan. At the time, Nessel said publicly she was “confident we have enough evidence to charge” people under state law for “forgery of a public record,” and other crimes. But ultimately, she decided to ask the Justice Department to investigate.

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has re-opened her criminal investigation into fake electors who signed a certificate claiming former President Donald Trump won the state in the 2020 election when he did not, she said on Friday.
Nessel, a Democrat who previously referred the matter to federal prosecutors, told reporters that she is “a little worried” that more than a year has passed since she referred cases related to the false slates of electors to the Justice Department and believes there is “clear evidence” to support charges against the fake electors from Michigan.
“What we have seen from the January 6 committee is an overwhelming amount of evidence. I thought that there was already a substantial amount of evidence in that case. But now, there is just clear evidence to support charges against those 16 false electors, at least in our state,” Nessel said.

The names were handed over Wednesday night, two sources told CNN.
It’s the latest twist in the Justice Department’s efforts to use the court to enforce a subpoena from May that sought to collect all classified records Trump kept in his possession after leaving the presidency. The New York Times first reported the development......
The judge, Howell, hasn’t decided if any new documents can be released.
“The Government has not publicly disclosed any request to hold the former President or his representatives in contempt. Nor can the Government confirm or deny whether it has made any such request,” the DOJ argued in the filing. “To the extent any such request exists, it and any related proceedings would be in connection with secret grand jury proceedings protected from disclosure.”

Matt Gaetz says he'll resign if Kevin McCarthy strikes speaker deal with Democrats
Please make this deal happen

In a feisty interview on Fox News Channel’s “The Ingraham Angle,” Mr. Gaetz, Florida Republican, said he’d resign from Congress if the Democrats essentially gained co-control of the chamber as a result of he and a group of about 20 conservatives continuing to refuse to back Kevin McCarthy’s speakership bid.
Host Laura Ingraham, in an earlier segment of the show, said there are three possible endgames to the gridlock that has produced 11 inconclusive votes for House speaker over the last three days: (1) conservatives claim victory with Mr. McCarthy’s concessions and support him for speaker, (2) Mr. McCarthy withdraws in favor of a different Republican who could get 218 votes, or (3) that moderate or establishment Republicans strike a deal with Democrats under which Mr. McCarthy or some other Republican “gets to be called ‘Speaker’ but essentially both parties share power.”
