The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports:
The former chairman of the Wisconsin Republican Party in a new interview claims he sent Congress paperwork he signed posing as an elector for Donald Trump following the former president’s 2020 election loss out of fear for his safety from the candidate’s supporters.
Andrew Hitt, who was chairman of the Republican Party of Wisconsin during the 2020 election, offered the explanation for his participation in a scheme designed by Trump and his allies to stay in power after losing reelection during an episode of CBS’ “60 Minutes” that will air Sunday evening.
In a clip provided to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel by “60 Minutes,” Hitt says he was scared of what Trump supporters would do to him or his family if he did not sign the paperwork and courts later overturned President Joe Biden’s victory in Wisconsin.

Hitt has not yet been charged. Watch the clip.
