Trump made calls to several state officials pushing to overturn his 2020 loss. But, he already had a $600,000 report commissioned by his own campaign that showed his claims of widespread election fraud were false.
In the weeks following the 2020 election, the Trump campaign spent more than $600,000 to investigate claims that thousands of dead people had voted and led to President Joe Biden’s victory, according to the report obtained by the Washington Post. The “Project 2020” report was returned to Trump on Jan. 1, 2021, and cited evidence disproving those claims — but that research was never made public.
However, Trump’s claims contradicted the findings from his campaign’s report. Researchers concluded with “high confidence” that only nine ballots were cast in the name of a deceased person in Georgia’s most populous county, with a “potential statewide exposure” of 23 such votes, according to the report.
