JUST IN: The Republican-chaired Michigan Senate Oversight Committee just released a 35-page report rejecting baseless claims made by President Trump and his allies that the 2020 election in the state was fraudulent.
The committee says it “found no evidence of widespread or systematic fraud in Michigan’s prosecution of the 2020 election.”

“Anyone else who recklessly squandered lives and money in this way would be suffering legal consequences. Our leaders have largely claimed immunity for their actions. But this election gives us the power to render judgment," the editorial says.
