A federal district judge in California has concluded that former president Trump swore to the truth of voting-fraud claims that he knew were false. The sworn representation was made in connection with a complaint the Trump legal team filed in Georgia federal court.

California district judge David O. Carter found that the then-president had been advised by counsel that the number of improper votes attributed in the submission to fraudulent voting was inaccurate. Yet Trump signed a verification under oath that incorporated and attested to the inflated numbers.
