Ken Block, a software engineer hired by former President Donald Trump to investigate claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election, stated that every instance he investigated turned out to be false. Block appeared on a segment of OutFront, where he discussed his findings with host Erin Burnett.
When asked about the widespread fraud Trump’s team wanted him to find, Block responded, “No,” explaining that in his role looking for voter fraud for the campaign, they didn’t find enough fraud to impact the result of any election in the swing states they examined.
Block mentioned that the campaign tasked him with investigating various claims of voter fraud made by others. His team looked into approximately 15 claims, all of which they were able to prove were false.
Later in the interview, Burnett mentioned that Block had been subpoenaed by Special Counsel Jack Smith and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, both prosecuting Trump over his efforts to challenge the election. Block clarified that he was a fact witness in both legal matters, and he was subpoenaed for all communications with the Trump campaign. Block stated that, so far, he has not had to appear in front of a grand jury personally, but all the materials he created have been requested.
“You were hired by team Trump to investigate voter fraud,” she said. “So, what was the bottom line from everything you looked at, Ken? Did you find the widespread fraud they wanted you to find?”
“No,” he replied. “In my job looking for voter fraud for the campaign, we didn’t find any– we didn’t find enough fraud to have impacted the result of any election in any of the swing states that we took a look at.”
Block said the campaign asked him to look into various voter fraud claims others were making.
“My team looked at approximately 15 or so claims – every one of which we were able to prove was false,” he said.
Later in the interview, Burnett noted that Block was subpoenaed by Special Counsel Jack Smith and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. Both are prosecuting Trump over his efforts to subvert the election, with Willis’ case being confined to Georgia.
“So, what did investigators want to know from you?” Burnett asked.
“So, in both of those legal matters, I’m what’s called a fact witness,” he responded. “I was subpoenaed for all of my communications in any form with the Trump campaign in both of those legal matters. That’s been so far the extent of involvement with both of those investigations and now legal actions. We’ll see what developments from this point forward. But so far, I’ve not had to appear in front of a grand jury personally. It’s just all the materials that I created that have.”
