  • A former technical adviser to the January 6 committee discussed the investigation with "60 Minutes."
  • Denver Riggleman said texts from Mark Meadows showed a "roadmap" to overturning the election.
  • Meadows was receiving texts about the alternate electors plot just days after the election.

A former technical adviser to the January 6 committee said texts former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows turned over provide "irrefutable" proof of a plot to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

Denver Riggleman, a former Republican congressman, made the comment during an interview with CBS News' "60 Minutes" on Sunday. He said Meadows' texts showed a "roadmap" for how allies of former President Donald Trump were trying to overturn the election.

"It showed actually the evolution of the beginning arguments from alternate electors all the way through rally planning, all the way to day of," he said.

Host Bill Whitaker asked Riggleman to confirm his belief that Meadows' texts "provide irrefutable, time-stamped proof of a comprehensive plot at all levels of government to overturn the election."

Riggleman responded affirmatively: "Irrefutable. Early in the text messages they were talking about alternate electors, you know, I think as soon as November 5th or November 6th."

 

Whitaker went on to note the many text messages Meadows had received in the days after the election, including one from Donald Trump Jr. in which he explained an alternate electors plan that would allow his father to win pending Congress's actions on January 6.

Meadows, who was Trump's chief of staff from 2020 to 2021, was also receiving texts about how to address the "stolen" election from people like MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell and GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. Insider previously compiled a list of all the texts Meadows had received while the January 6 insurrection was unfolding.

"The Meadows text messages show you an administration that was completely eaten up with a digital virus called QAnon and conspiracy theories: an apocalyptic, messianic buffoonery. You can look at the text messages as that roadmap, but it's also a look into the psyche of the Republican party today," Riggleman said.

Riggleman noted it's unclear if Meadows turned over all of his relevant texts but said "what we got is pretty valuable."

A lawyer for Meadows did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

  • Former President Donald Trump slammed President Joe Biden for lowering gas prices.
  • Trump claimed the decrease was a politically motivated scheme.
  • "Right after the election, it's going to double up and go higher than anybody ever believed," Trump claimed.

Former President Donald Trump, while in Ohio to rally support for Republican Senate candidate JD Vance, slammed President Joe Biden for the recent decline in national gas prices. 

Speaking at the 7,000-seat Covelli Centre in Youngstown, Trump — who himself schemed in an effort to overturn the 2020 election — claimed that shrinking gas prices are a ploy Biden is using for political gain.

In a tweet, the White House recognized Saturday as the 95th day in which gas prices have steadily declined since reaching record highs earlier this year. According to the White House, the national average for a gallon of gas sits at $ 3.68.

The administration — and Biden himself — have claimed that the drop in prices is the steepest decline in more than a decade. Insider was unable to independently verify the claim.

 

Trump slammed Biden for going into the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve to release crude in an effort to ease overpriced gas despite the reserve being "only for war." But Trump did the same during his administration when Saudi Arabia's crude production drastically decreased following attacks on its production facilities, per CNBC.

"He's using that to keep prices down as much as he can just before the election and right after the election, it's going to double up and go higher than anybody ever believed," Trump claimed at the rally on Saturday.

Trump claimed the current average is still "double and triple" what it was during his administration. 

The Associated Press reported the national average was as low as $ 1.87 per gallon during May 2020, but the outlet attributed the low cost mostly to the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown.

While the crowd cheered during Trump's rant on the current status of gas prices, some supporters didn't seem too bothered.

When an interviewer from Right Side Broadcasting Network pushed a woman clad in a pro-Trump hat to say the gas prices for her 5.5-hour drive were bad, the woman didn't agree.

"Wasn't too bad," the supporter said of the gas prices. 

 

A spokesperson for Trump did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

Lawyers representing Dominion Voting Systems is now asking producers for Tucker Carlson to sit for depositions in their sprawling $ 1.6 billion election defamation lawsuit against Fox News.

According to a series of filings this week, Dominion has asked Justin Wells, Eldad Yaron, Alex Pfieffer, producers for Tucker Carlson, as well as John Fawcett, a former associate producer for former Fox host Lou Dobbs to sit for depositions by the end of September.

On March 26, 2021, Dominion filed a defamation lawsuit against Fox News seeking $ 1.6 billion in damages, claiming that the network gave prominence to the election-fraud claims as a tactic to revive viewership as ratings dropped after President Donald Trump's loss.

Dominion manufactures and sells electronic voting hardware, software, and voting machines, and was repeatedly targeted with conspiracies in the wake of the 2020 election.

And in the company's lawsuit, Dominion claimed that Fox News "sold a false story of election fraud in order to serve its own commercial purposes, severely injuring Dominion in the process."

Two months later, Fox News filed to dismiss the motion, and by December 2021, a judge had rejected Fox's motion.

"We are confident we will prevail as freedom of the press is foundational to our democracy and must be protected, in addition to the damages claims being outrageous, unsupported and not rooted in sound financial analysis, serving as nothing more than a flagrant attempt to deter our journalists from doing their jobs," a spokesperson for Fox News told Insider in a statement. 

Attorneys for Fox News did not immediately return Insider's request for comment. 

The case is set to go to trial in April 2023, and the voting company will aim to use key testimonies from the producers to build its case. 

In June, Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric M. Davis ruled that Dominion's lawsuit could move forward including claims against Fox Corporation, Fox News's parent company run by Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch.

Davis argued that Fox News's parent company Fox Corporation could also be found to be liable for pushing and directing the campaign of election lies, particularly after Fox News called Arizona for Joe Biden and as the network sought to regain lost viewers from right-wing channels like Newsmax and One America News Network.

In February 2021, another voting systems company, Smartmatic, filed a defamation lawsuit against Fox News, Sidney Powell, Rudy Giuliani, and current and former hosts, which is moving forward in New York.

  • Mary Peltola told Politico she wasn't "shocked" by her House special election victory in Alaska.
  • The Democratic congresswoman-elect credited her work ethic and reputation as assets in the race.
  • Peltola beat out Sarah Palin and Nick Begich to serve out the remainder of Don Young's term.

Alaska hasn't voted for a Democratic presidential nominee since Lyndon B. Johnson's landslide victory in 1964.

The state last backed a Democrat in a Senate race in 2008, when then-Anchorage Mark Begich won a close contest against veteran Republican lawmaker Ted Stevens.

And for nearly 50 years, Alaska voters sent longtime Republican Don Young to Washington, DC, as its at-large congressman.

But in the race to succeed Young — who passed away in February — former Democratic state Rep. Mary Peltola won a House special election last month in a field that included former Republican Gov. Sarah Palin and Republican Nick Begich III. (Begich is the nephew of the former Democratic senator.)

Despite the long history of GOP triumphs in the Frontier State, Peltola — who will be the first Alaska Native elected to Congress — said she was not surprised by her victory.

In an interview with Politico, she spoke of the tight-knit nature of Alaskan politicians and her embrace of bipartisanship while serving in the legislature — where she also developed a working relationship with Palin, the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee.

"I was very optimistic," she told the outlet. "The three of us who were in the final round of the special election, we had come out of a field of 48 candidates. And I worked very, very hard."

She continued: "I was on the phone two or three hours a day reaching out to Alaskans across the state. We had a number of events that we hosted to connect with as many voters as I possibly could."

Peltola remarked that her experience in the Alaska House of Representatives was a key part of her background.

"I did have a lot of connections that I had made over the 10 years in the Statehouse," she told Politico. "I developed a reputation over the years that I served in Juneau of being very easy to work with, able to work with anyone in the building — regardless of party."

"Alaska is a small state. Most of the people who are in leadership positions have been here many decades and Alaskans tend to have a long memory. So I was not shocked at the outcome of our race," she added.

The election was held with ranked-choice voting, where voters can indicate on their ballots their ranked preferences. If no candidate has received the majority of the vote in a race, the candidates are eliminated until votes for the top-two finishers are tallied up and a winner is declared.

After the votes were tabulated, Peltola defeated Palin 51.5%-48.5%.

The congresswoman-elect — who will sworn in on Tuesday — will serve out the remaining weeks of Young's term, and will once again face Palin and Begich in November for a full two-year term in office.

For years, researchers have suggested that algorithms feeding users content aren’t the cause of online echo chambers, but are more likely due to users actively seeking out content that aligns with their beliefs. This week, New York University researchers for the Center for Social Media and Politics showed results from a YouTube experiment that just happened to be conducted right when election fraud claims were raised in fall 2020. They say their results provide an important caveat to prior research by showing evidence that in 2020, YouTube’s algorithm was responsible for “disproportionately” recommending election fraud content to users more “skeptical of the election’s legitimacy to begin with.”

A coauthor of the study, Vanderbilt University political scientist James Bisbee told The Verge that even though participants were recommended a low number of election denial videos—a maximum of 12 videos out of hundreds participants clicked on—the algorithm generated three times as many to people predisposed to buy into the conspiracy than it to people who did not. “The more susceptible you are to these types of narratives about the election… the more you would be recommended content about that narrative,” Bisbee said.

YouTube spokesperson Elena Hernandez told Ars that Bisbee’s team’s report “doesn’t accurately represent how our systems work.” Hernandez says, “YouTube doesn’t allow or recommend videos that advance false claims that widespread fraud, errors, or glitches occurred in the 2020 US presidential election” and YouTube’s “most viewed and recommended videos and channels related to elections are from authoritative sources, like news channels.”

  • The January 6 committee is seeking a voluntary interview with Newt Gingrich.
  • The committee said emails showed Gingrich pushing for TV ads with false election claims.
  • They also said he appeared to be involved in the alternate electors plot, citing a text he sent to Mark Meadows.

The January 6 committee investigating the Capitol riot said Thursday it is seeking information from Newt Gingrich about his involvement in efforts to subvert 2020 election results.

In a letter sent to the former Republican House speaker, the committee said it is seeking his "voluntary cooperation." The letter also said the committee had obtained messages that suggested Gingrich was involved in efforts by former President Donald Trump and his allies to cast doubt and even overturn the election results.

The committee said it obtained emails that showed Gingrich urging the Trump campaign to air TV ads repeating false claims about the election.

According to the letter, in one email sent to Jared Kushner and Jason Miller, Gingrich wrote: "The goal is to arouse the country's anger through new verifiable information the American people have never seen before[.] . . . If we inform the American people in a way they find convincing and it arouses their anger[,] they will then bring pressure on legislators and governors."

The committee also said information it obtained suggested Gingrich was involved in a plot to appoint alternate electors to vote for Trump on behalf of states that Biden won. The letter said Gingrich wrote in a text to Trump's chief of staff Mark Meadows and White House counsel Pat Cipollone: "Is someone in charge of coordinating all the electors? Evans makes the point that all the contested electors must meet on [D]ecember 14 and send in ballots to force contests which the house would have to settle."

The committee is requesting Gingrich sit for an interview on September 19 and to preserve any relevant communications.

Gingrich's company did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

The races & the stakes

Democrat Mary Peltola won the US House special election for Alaska's at-large US House seat, vacated by the death of longtime Rep. Don Young in March.

Peltola's win makes her the first-ever woman to represent Alaska in the US House, the first Alaska Native person to serve in Congress, and the first Democrat to represent Alaska in the House since 1972. 

Peltola, Republicans Sarah Palin and Nick Begich III, and Independent Al Gross, who subsequently dropped out of the race, advanced out of the June primary to the August general, which was held with ranked-choice voting. Peltola will serve out the rest of Young's term through January 2023. 

Palin, a former governor and 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee, attempted a political comeback and vied to win a seat in the House. 

Palin, Peltola, Begich, and Republican Tara Sweeney also advanced to the regular primary election to represent Alaska's at-large House seat for a full term, which was held concurrently with the special general election. 

The 2022 elections are the first held under Alaska's brand-new top-four primary voting system, approved in 2020. All candidates from all party affiliations run on the same primary ballot and the top four advance to the general election, which is then held under a ranked-choice voting system. 

The new system was expected to help insulate GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski, seeking a third term in office, from being defeated by a primary challenger endorsed by President Donald Trump. Murkowski, who drew Trump's ire by voting to convict him for inciting the January 6 insurrection, is now facing a Trump-backed primary challenger in Kelly Tshibaka.

Murkowski, Tshibaka, and Democrat Patricia Chesbro had advanced out of the primary and onto the general.  

Murkowski faced her Trump-backed primary challenger on the same day as GOP Rep. Liz Cheney lost to Trump-endorsed Harriet Hageman in Wyoming's at-large House seat. Cheney voted to impeach Trump and now is investigating his role in the insurrection as the vice-chair of the January 6 Committee.

Four of the 10 GOP House members who voted to impeach Trump — Cheney, Rep. Tom Rice of South Carolina, Rep. Peter Meijer of Michigan, and Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler of Washington — have lost reelection to Trump-backed primary challengers. Out of the seven GOP Senators who voted to convict Trump in the Senate, Murkowski is the only one up for reelection in 2022. 

In addition to Congress, GOP Gov. Mike Dunleavy and Lt. Gov. Nancy Dalhstorm are seeking another term in office. But Dunleavy faces two serious primary challengers, state Rep. Christopher Kurka and Charlie Pierce, mayor of the Kenai Borough Penninsula, challenging him from his right, Alaska Public Media reports.

One of MSNBC’s biggest stars is being forced to sit out the cable news network’s continuing election coverage.

Rachel Maddow will be off the air indefinitely and in quarantine at home after a close contact tested positive for the coronavirus, the host announced on Friday. “I’ve tested negative thus far, but will be at home quarantining ’til it’s safe for me to be back at work without putting anyone at risk,” Maddow said in a tweet. She will miss at least Friday’s edition of her primetime MSNBC show, which airs weekdays at 9/8c and is among the top-rated news programs on cable. It’s not yet known when she might return to on-air duty.

This has happened, of course, at an inconvenient time, as the 2020 presidential election is still undecided after three days of vote counting. Cable news ratings have soared as viewers tune in to see the latest vote counts from still-undecided states like Pennsylvania, Georgia and Nevada. (Democratic challenger Joe Biden leads at press time with 253 electoral votes, to President Donald Trump’s 214.)

MSNBC anchors Nicolle Wallace, Joy Reid and Brian Williams, along with breakout analyst Steve Kornacki, will pick up the slack in Maddow’s absence. “Wishing everyone patience and calm; may these remarkable times bring out the best in us,” Maddow concluded, before adding: “See you soon!”

Donald Trump supporter Nigel Farage joined Andrew Neil on the BBC’s US Election special to debate the president’s comments on voter fraud. The president told an audience at the White House that he had “won the election” and was ready to ask the Supreme court to halt all vote-counting on the basis the votes yet to come in are fraudulent. Neil clashed with Farage when the former UKIP leader agreed with the president the postal voting system is open to fraud. 

Neil began: “The president said, ‘People are trying to disenfranchise the United States. What people?’”

Farage replied: “Well what he’s talking about is the potential of voter fraud and what he was especially talking about is the idea of late votes coming in and that clearly shouldn’t be allowed.

“State by state they’ve all done this differently. I’m personally very anti poster voting in totality but I get it in a pandemic that option had to be offered. 

“Should there be some rules that states should count all the votes on the night? I would have thought that was something the extreme court would have agreed on.”

“So there is no fraud?” Neil hit back. 

“No there is no evidence of fraud at this stage but we know from countries…” Farage explained. 

Interrupting, Neil continued: “But the president has claimed it’s a fraud on the American public so if there is no fraud why is he claiming there’s a fraud.”

“We know from our own miserable experience of massively extending postal voting that not only is there fraud, there’s intimidation also we’ve seen it again and again,” Farage said. 

“Look I think you’ve seen tonight a president who’s frustrated we haven’t got a clear result.”

“What we could be seeing is a president that’s worried when all the votes are counted he hasn’t won,” the BBC presenter said. 

“Well let’s hope when all those votes are counted, they are votes cast before the polls closed and not those that came in afterwards,” Farage added.

Neil hit back: “He’s claiming he’s won on the basis the votes that are still to come in are fraudulent and you know that’s not true Nigel Farage.”

“I didn’t say it was true, did I?” Farage quipped. “I said the president was expressing frustration tonight and American states are incapable of counting votes.”
