Sen. Ron Johnson says the fake electors he tried to give Pence on Jan 6 came from Rep. Mike Kelly

Republican Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin said on Thursday that Republican Rep. Mike Kelly's office gave him an "alternate" slate of electors from Michigan and Wisconsin that his chief of staff tried to deliver to Vice President Mike Pence's office on January 6, 2021.

In the January 6 committee's fourth hearing on Tuesday, committee members laid out President Donald Trump and his allies' plan to deliver an alternate slate of electors to Pence ahead of the counting and certification of the presidential election during a joint session of Congress.

At one point, the committee displayed a series of texts between Johnson's chief of staff and a legislative aide to Pence in which Johnson's staffer asked the aide where to send the slate of electors to Pence, saying "Johnson needs to hand something to VPOTUS."

Pence's aide denied him, responding "do not give that to him."
