Former President Donald Trump called for Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson's execution for treason, she claims.
Benson, who serves as Michigan's top election official, said she received a"surreal" piece of information from an inside source from the White House that the then president suggested she be arrested for treason and executed for her refusal to overturn the results confirming that President Joe Biden carried the state in the 2020 election.
More than 250 countywide audits of Michigan's 2020 election results confirmed the election results, Benson said in March 2021. Benson, who is seeking reelection, faces a challenge from Republican Kristina Karamo, who has echoed Trump's claims about the 2020 election being stolen.Trump and his campaign lost dozens of legal challenges that alleged widespread voter fraud despite officials' reassurances that the election was secure.
