Federal prosecutors are probing 2020 Electoral College submissions that they say falsely declared former President Donald Trump the winner of several states he lost.

“Our prosecutors are looking at those, and I can’t say anything more on ongoing investigations,” Lisa Monaco, the Justice Department’s deputy attorney general told CNN.
