Well, that was money well spent.

The Berkeley Research Group, hired by the former president’s 2020 campaign, gathered a team of around a dozen people to look into alleged voter fraud...The team reportedly briefed Trump, his former chief of staff Mark Meadows and others on a conference call held in the last days of 2020 — before Trump held a rally urging his supporters to march on the Capitol... Trump has claimed that the 2020 presidential election was “rigged”... he made them despite knowing that a team of professional researchers he paid to try and find evidence of fraud came up empty-handed.

(As if multiple failed lawsuits by Trump, and assertions by state level republicans who ran the elections wasn't enough evidence that the fraud claims were untrue.)

You would have figured that the "stable genius" that is Trump would have recognized that spending money to investigate hoaxes was a bad use of money. But we are talking about someone who drove multiple casinos into bankruptcy.

The problem for Trump is that if/when he ever gets indicted over this, it will impact his ability to defend himself. (i.e. he will not be able to claim that he "didn't know" the election was fair, since we have evidence he was told BY HIS OWN PEOPLE that there was no voter fraud)
