Speaker Johnson urged to return campaign donations from fake electors

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is facing a call to return campaign contributions from alleged fake electors who sought to overturn the 2020 presidential results in Georgia.

Campaign receipts filed with the Federal Election Commission show Johnson’s campaign committee and leadership PAC received a combined total of $21,600 from a pair of accused fake electors for both the primary and general elections in 2024. The donations have prompted some criticism among Democrats, with some even calling on the speaker to return the funds.
