House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) told The Epoch Times on July 19 that his party plans to probe the “weaponization” of the government in response to news that Michigan electors in the 2020 presidential election for former President Donald Trump were being charged with felonies.

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced in a July 18 statement that she was charging 16 Michigan residents for what she identified as their role in the “alleged false electors scheme following the 2020 U.S. presidential election.”
