An email sent by a staffer for then-President Donald Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign told Republicans planning to cast their Electoral College votes for Trump in Georgia to operate in “complete secrecy,” according to a new report.
Robert Sinners, the Trump campaign’s election operations director in Georgia, instructed Republicans on how they could cast Electoral College votes in favor of Trump despite President Joe Biden’s victory in the state in an email sent on Dec. 13, 2020, obtained by the Washington Post.
“I must ask for your complete discretion in this process,” Sinners wrote. “Your duties are imperative to ensure the end result — a win in Georgia for President Trump — but will be hampered unless we have complete secrecy and discretion.”

The electors were directed to tell security guards at the Georgia Capitol building they were meeting with one of two state senators, Brandon Beach or Burt Jones, the report said.
“Please, at no point should you mention anything to do with Presidential Electors or speak to the media,” Sinners wrote in bold.

Georgia was one of seven states won by Biden where alternate Republican electors gathered to sign certificates on Dec. 14, 2020, that falsely affirmed Trump was the actual winner in their state. All 16 Electoral College votes in Georgia were ultimately certified for Biden.
The email is part of an investigation by the Department of Justice into whether the “fraudulent elector certifications” violated any federal laws. In January, the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot that attempted to overturn the election issued subpoenas for more than a dozen people involved in falsifying Electoral College certificates that declared Trump was the winner.
