Former President Donald Trump speaks to the crowd during a rally at the Florence Regional Airport on March 12, 2022 in Florence, South Carolina. | Sean Rayford/Getty ImagesIn late April of 2020, a top political appointee in the Trump administration called for Department of Homeland Security officials to scrutinize an unusual topic for a national security agency: possible voter fraud in the upcoming election.
It also raises new questions about how a domestic political complaint found its way onto the intelligence community’s to-do list. The immediate aftermath of that conversation isn’t clear.
