Donald Trump's Election Day operations chief appears before Jan. 6 grand jury
While the charges have been announced against Donald Trump for the document scandal, special counsel Jack Smith is still at work investigating the Jan. 6 attack on Congress and the attempt to overthrow the 2020 election.
According to NBC News on Thursday, Trump's Election Day operations chief has appeared to answer questions before the grand jury.
Clad in dark glasses and carrying a long umbrella, Gary Michael Brown walked into the third-floor grand jury area in Washington.
"Stanley Woodward — an attorney who is representing several Trump aides, including Walt Nauta, who was indicted along with Trump in the Mar-a-Lago case — accompanied Brown in court," the report said.
Brown wouldn't answer questions upon leaving, instead saying that he was "starving" and needed a sandwich.
The House Select Committee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack and 2020 election overthrow conspiracy subpoenaed Brown ahead of the final report. They said at the time that there was “credible evidence” and that Brown was “aware of, and participated in, efforts to promote unsupported allegations of fraud in the November 2020 Presidential election and encourage state legislators to alter the outcome of the November 2020 election by, among other things, appointing alternate slates of electors to send competing electoral votes to the United States Congress.”
The committee said at the time that Brown and other campaign staff could have been behind the fake electors scheme to send official-looking documents to Congress claiming to be real electors.
Brown and the staff worked “to contact Republican members of state legislatures in certain states that former President Trump had lost and urge them to ‘reclaim’ their authority by sending an alternate slate of electors that would support former President Trump," the committee said in its subpoena.
