Republican sues Nessel: False-elector scheme was 'futile political protest,' not a crime [View all]
GRAND RAPIDS, MI – One of the 16 Republicans charged in a 2020 false-elector scheme has filed a federal lawsuit against Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel seeking to halt state prosecution.
The defendants are accused of an illegal effort to keep former President Donald Trump in office after he lost the election to President Joe Biden.
Nessel charged the defendants with multiple felonies. She said the defendants knowingly lied on a false document with intent to defraud despite Biden winning Michigan by 154,000 votes.
Clifford James Frost Jr. on Tuesday, Nov. 21, filed a federal lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan to stop Nessel’s prosecution. He alleged that Nessel, a Democrat, filed charges to punish or retaliate against the Republican electors.
