U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson seeks to hand Pence slate of fake electors

"Do not give that to him," a top Pence aide told the staffer, Sean Riley, on Jan. 6, 2021, when Riley said the senator wanted to deliver the fake Trump electors to him.
That happened just an hour before a Pence aide denied Johnson chief of staff Sean Riley's attempt to pass those documents, which falsely stated Trump won Michigan and Wisconsin in November 2020, to the vice president.
