Inside the ‘shadow reality world’ promoting the lie that the presidential election was stolen: Wealthy allies of former president Donald Trump have spent millions on films, rallies and other efforts to tout falsehoods about the 2020 vote. - "On Wednesday, a state Senate committee chaired by McBroom released the results of a seven-month-long investigation of Michigan’s election results, which included testimony from 90 witnesses. The report concluded there was 'no evidence of widespread or systematic fraud” and warned of “those who have pushed demonstrably false theories for their own personal gain.'"
