Last week, in a hearing of the 1/6 committee, we learned that Johnsons chief of staff had attempted to coordinate the hand-off of a slate of fake electors from Michigan and Wisconsin to Vice President Mike Pence. (Pences head of legislative affairs put the kibosh on the move before it ever happened.)
So, according to Johnson, a staff intern from the House somehow got a hold of a fake slates of electors from two swing states and was trying to pass them to the vice president of the United States. Johnson, in this retelling, was wholly uninvolved.
Except, well, Johnsons story started to change as the week went on.
By Thursday, Johnson said that the fake elector slates had come from the office of Pennsylvania Rep. Mike Kelly. And, Johnson also acknowledged in an interview with a local radio station that he had coordinated, via text message, with his chief of staff and Dane Count attorney Jim Troupis to make sure Pence got the Wisconsin fake elector slate.
