Among the materials turned over to special counsel Jack Smith about supposed fraud in the election are documents that touch on many of the debunked conspiracies and unfounded claims of widespread voter fraud peddled by former Donald Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani. The documents had been withheld by former New York Police Commissioner Bernie Kerik who claimed they were privileged only to be handed over to Smith on Sunday. The files include affidavits claiming there were widespread irregularities shoddy statistical analyses supposedly revealing fraudulent activities. They also connect him and other members of the Trump legal team to the efforts to smear a Dominion Voting Systems executive efforts that are now the subject of both civil litigation and the Colorado state criminal investigation. One of the research documents turned over by Kerik was a report on socalled UVoters a theory that there is an army of phantom voters who have accumulated on the voter rolls over the last several years who can be deployed at will. The report was referenced in late December letters sent to the Justice Department and to thenSenate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell by Pennsylvania state Sen. Doug Mastriano a top promoter of Trumps election reversal gambits who ran unsuccessfully for governor in . The letter to McConnell signed by other Pennsylvania Republicans as well asked him to dispute the elections certification. In addition the documents suggest Trumps team attempted to seize on an earlier Government Accountability Office report about the Department of Homeland Securitys cyber arm to undercut what Trump was told and embraced during a February Oval Office meeting about election security. They include the GAO report and what appears to be a memo highlighting the fact that DHS Critical Infrastructure and Security Agency CISA failed to fully execute multiple strategies to secure the Presidential elections. The memo seeks to counter CISAs public statement that the election was the most secure in American history based on security programs officials presented to Trump during the February briefing. Trump had seemed to embrace the programs in early to the point of suggesting the agencies hold a press conference so he could take credit for their work reported Monday. The tranche includes a page dossier on the executive Eric Coomer detailing his antiTrump rhetoric on social media as well as his background working for the voting machine company. One example is a memo titled Briefing materials for Senate members sent by Katherine Friess a former Trump lawyer to Kerik Steve Bannon and an email address known to belong to Giuliani on January . This tranche of documents further illustrates the scope of unproven fraud claims that were being circulated to highlevel Trump allies at the time. The Trump teams focus on Pennsylvania and how its bogus claims of fraud there affected election officials in the state has been thesubject of scrutiny by Smith. The document also includes several versions of a research memo purporting to analyze the Pennsylvania election and claiming to find an indication of fraud. The page report from after the election compiled by the Trump campaign and Giuliani that contained the campaigns unfounded allegations of fraud including witness statements and false allegations of overvotes and illegal votes. The pages also include communications between investigators hired by Giuliani including Kerik about the debunked report about irregularities in Antrim County Michigan that Trump was repeatedly told was bogus but continued to tout.
