Donald Trump’s legal team, including Rudy Giuliani, asked a Republican prosecutor in Michigan to seize his county’s voting machine and turn them over to the former president, according to The Washington Post.
The Post reported that Antrim County prosecutor James Rossiter said that Giuliani and his colleagues made the request after the county misreported its election results due to a clerical error that was quickly corrected but continues to fuel conspiracy theories about Trump’s election loss.
“I never expected in my life I’d get a call like this,” Rossiter said.
The prosecutor said he refused because he lacked sufficient grounds to seize the machines as evidence, and he could not have released them to outsiders or anyone with an interest in the matter.
