Just days before Donald Trump's latest indictment, former New York Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik turned over to Special Counsel Jack Smith a trove of documents that show the Trump legal team was still conducting a sprawling, police-like probe that hadn’t resolve most of the allegations of 2020 election fraud it had collected before the Jan. 6 Capitol riot broke out.
Kerik was running the investigation for Trump’s lead election challenge litigator, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, the memos show.
A lawyer involved in producing the documents to Smith told Just the News the memos could prove to be valuable evidence of the state of mind of the former president and his legal team that undercuts the theory that prosecutors laid out in Tuesday's indictment of an intentional fraud conspiracy between Trump and six other unnamed co-conspirators to overturn the 2020 election results.
The files reviewed by Just the News show Kerik and a small team working under Giuliani collected affidavits from voters or election observers alleging wrongdoing, had academics produce data analyses identifying possible statistical voting anomalies and even marked up government documents that identified potential election system vulnerabilities that worried experts before the 2020 election.
