Secretary of State Benson Provides Additional Information to Jan. 6 Committee

Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson sent a letter Wednesday to the U.S. House Select Committee and U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland with more information about coordination between former President Donald Trump and Michiganders to overturn to the 2020 election.

“As more information has surfaced about the attempts to thwart the will of Michigan’s 5.5 million voters, we have been able to connect the dots between activities that occurred here in Michigan and at the national level to overturn what was the most secure election in our state’s history,” said Benson. “As the efforts to overturn the election ultimately led to the Jan. 6 attack on the United States Capitol, it is my firm belief that all Americans have a patriotic duty to nation and our democracy to support the Committee in their work.”

This is the second time Secretary Benson has communicated directly with the Jan. 6 Committee, including an interview with investigators in November 2021.
