Federal prosecutors have been interviewing witnesses pertaining to former President Donald Trump’s actions on Jan. 6, 2021 as part of a larger investigation into efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, a person familiar with the matter said.
Prosecutors will also review attempts by Trump and his team to alter the election outcome by substituting fake electors in key states Trump lost and by pressuring former Vice President Mike Pence to block certification of the results.
