Trump Accuses Phelan of Blocking Election Audit Legislation
by Jeramy Kitchen
On Saturday, former President Donald Trump again weighed in on the progress of forensic election audit legislation during the ongoing third special legislative session.
In a statement, Trump said:
Texas Speaker of the House Dade Phelan is another Mitch McConnell. He is not fighting for the people of Texas. Speaker Phelan should immediately move the Forensic Audit bill, SB 47 by Senator Bettencourt that passed out of the State Senate this week, to the floor. The Speaker knows the bill will overwhelmingly pass the House with Republican support.
