QAnon in yer elections.
This is the most important yet under-reported QAnon-related story this year. A QAnon influencer is currently recruiting secretary of state candidates in swing states with the sole aim of controlling the electoral system in those states.https://t.co/2J2VK5Hyst

Responding to conspiracies.

And another conspiracy put to rest.
Obama's administration did not "spy" on Trump. Buzzfeed News FOIA'd a formerly-classified report from Sept 2020 (under AG Barr) that disproves the oft-repeated conspiratorial claim. Trump's DOJ report disproved the rumor, yet the report wasn't released.https://t.co/EjQHJBnufh
