Donald Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn has spent much of the last three years claiming the 2020 election was stolen, turning baseless conspiracy theories into a cottage industry centered around live events, a documentary and political fundraising through dark money groups.

But under oath in a court deposition earlier this year, Flynn for the first time on record acknowledged there was no evidence to support a key part of some election fraud claims — that an executive at Dominion Voting Systems helped rig the 2020 election through the company’s voting machines.

Funding a sham 2020 election audit Flynn’s efforts to cast doubt on the 2020 election results were only getting started when Trump left office. In April 2021, Flynn formed a non-profit group called The America Project along with his brother Joseph Flynn and Patrick Byrne, the wealthy former CEO of Overstock.com who has bankrolled numerous efforts aimed at finding election fraud.
