Former President Donald Trump reportedly hired a software firm to conduct an investigation that ended up disproving his claims of massive fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
In an interview published on Thursday, Simpatico Software Systems founder Ken Block told The Washington Post that his firm had investigated over a dozen voter fraud theories and allegations in the aftermath of Trump's loss to President Joe Biden and found that the claims were "all false."
"No substantive voter fraud was uncovered in my investigations looking for it, nor was I able to confirm any of the outside claims of voter fraud that I was asked to look at," Block said. "Every fraud claim I was asked to investigate was false."
Block told the newspaper that Special Counsel Jack Smith, who is conducting federal investigations into Trump's attempts to overturn his 2020 loss and his post-presidency possession of classified documents, had recently issued him with a subpoena.
He declined to discuss further details about the subpoena, saying, "I just don't believe it's appropriate at this point in time to discuss anything related to the grand jury process."
Federal records show that payments labeled "recount" and totaling $750,000 were sent to the firm by the Trump campaign, with the last payment being sent around Thanksgiving 2020, according to the Post.
