A big secret about former President Donald Trump's election fraud claims came out last week. A judge in Washington, D. C. , made public almost 2, 000 pages of evidence from the case. This evidence shows that back in 2020, William Barr, who was Trump's lawyer at the time, told Trump his ideas about voting machines being rigged were false. In fact, Barr called them "crazy. " This is a big deal because it's the first time a lawyer has said something like this about a president they worked for.

Trump's lawyers tried to stop the judge from releasing the evidence. They said it could hurt his current presidential campaign. They also said it could be dangerous for witnesses, especially with the election only three weeks away. Plus, they complained that the current vice president, Kamala Harris, is using this evidence in her campaign ads.

The judge, Tanya Chutkan, didn't listen to Trump's lawyers. She said the public has the right to know. The evidence shows Trump trying to get support for a report about voter fraud in Michigan, but he was told the report was "nuts. " Trump is facing charges, like trying to obstruct an official proceeding and trying to change election results. He says he's innocent and is being targeted politically.

This whole story is like a puzzle. It shows how Trump and his friends created a fake story about voting machines. This fake story has led to big legal troubles for some of them. It also shows how Barr, Trump's own lawyer, thought the idea was "crazy. " It's important to look at this story carefully and think about what it means.
