Trump's baseless claim about 'Indian people getting paid to vote' appears to have originated with Peter Navarro aide

A former Justice Department official raised eyebrows when he testified that Donald Trump complained that Native Americans were paid to vote against him, but the claim appears to have originated with a White House staffer.

Richard Donoghue, who served as Trump's acting deputy attorney general in December 2020 and January 2021, told the House select committee the former president claimed voter fraud had deprived him of re-election, and many observers were surprised by some of the baseless allegations.

"Dead people are voting, Indian people are getting paid to vote," Trump said, according to Donoghue. "There's lots of fraud going on here."

All the recent cases have been republicans. I was hoping that would have been mentioned when they were talking about accusations of voter fraud during yesterday's hearing, but they didn't.

fed into that hate..he blamed the demise of his casino business on Native American casinos..his business was struggling and theirs was flourishing...so Trump did what he does best, he lied and slandered..he accused the Native American casino owners of have ties to the mob...he even testified before Congress, throwing out racial epithets, and alluding to knowledge of criminality on sovereign land...

Navarro, Bannon, Eastman, Clark, Giuliani..they planted the seeds blah blah blah..the assumption is Trump was too stupid to contrive his inevitable self destruction... but that's not true...Trump is a depraved amoral narcissistic sociopath..vengeful/racist/antisemitic/ xenophobic, a grifter..delusionally confident in his own less than mediocre brilliance, knowingly surrounding himself with like minded morally compromised lesser men..the blame is on Trump..no seed-planting assholes necessary...
