The 2020 fake electors plot failed in part because Rudy Giuliani texted the wrong number, according to the recent court filing by special counsel Jack Smith, The Guardian reported.
After Donald Trump lost the presidential election to Joe Biden four years ago, he enlisted Giuliani to lead his campaign’s legal team. At the time, Giuliani tried to persuade Republican officials in swing states where Trump lost to submit fake, alternate slates of electors so that the current Republican nominee could claim victory. He has since been disbarred.
