Former Georgia GOP chairman David Shafer, who led the state’s delegation of fake electors, said in a court filing that he and the other fake electors “acted at the direction of the incumbent President and other federal officials.”
Shafer, a longtime member of the Georgia state Senate, played a key role in organizing the Trump campaign’s slate of fake electors in the state. He convened the 16 fake electors in the Georgia state capital in December 2020, where they signed a certificate falsely proclaiming that Trump won the state.
“Attorneys for the President and Mr. Shafer specifically instructed Mr. Shafer, verbally and in writing, that the Republican electors’ meeting and casting their ballots on December 14, 2020 was consistent with counsels’ advice and was necessary to preserve the presidential election contest,” the filing states.
Shafer falsely claimed “thousands of people” voted illegally in the state while casting his vote as a fake elector on December, 14, 2020, according to a transcript of the secretive closed-door meeting Shafer made public.
The transcript indicates that at least two Trump officials were in the room: Trump campaign attorney Ray Smith – who was charged alongside Trump and Shafer in the Georgia indictment – and Robert Sinners, an unindicted co-conspirator who was Trump’s Election Day operations lead in the state.
