Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Trump Campaign Allowed Lawyers to Spew False Election Fraud Claims

HeadlineSep 22, 2021

The New York Times reports Donald Trump’s reelection campaign was aware that claims by Trump lawyers that 2020 voting machines were rigged were unfounded. Just days after the campaign determined the voting fraud conspiracies had no merit, Sidney Powell and Rudolph Giuliani held a press conference where they continued to level the false claims.

Meanwhile, the new book by Washington Post journalists Bob Woodward and Robert Costa says a lawyer on Trump’s legal team tried to convince then-Vice President Mike Pence that he could overturn Trump’s election loss by throwing out electors from seven states.
