This is the best summary I could come up with:
Nevada’s Attorney General Aaron Ford has opened an investigation into efforts by Republicans in the state to undermine Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 election by creating a slate of fake pro-Trump electors.
According to three people with knowledge of the investigation who spoke to Politico, prosecutors have been interviewing witnesses in connection to the fake electors scheme, which in Nevada involved six Republicans.
According to Politico, witnesses who’ve been questioned include former Clark County Registrar of Voters Joe Gloria, who was subjected to threats and intimidation by Trump supporters in the aftermath of the 2020 election.
This summer, McDonald and Republican National Committeeman Jim DeGraffenreid, another one of the state’s fake electors, were granted limited immunity in exchange for their testimony before a grand jury empaneled by Special Counsel Jack Smith.
DeGraffenreid’s interactions with Trump’s former Georgia co-defendant Kenneth Chesebro also appeared in the final report compiled by the Jan. 6 Committee.
Chesebro, who is considered one of the masterminds behind the fake electors scheme, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to file false documents in Georgia last month.
