Although his multiple conspiracies began after election day in 2020, the defendant laid the
groundwork for his crimes well before then. Leading into the election, the defendant’s private and
Campaign advisors, including i (then a private citizen) and (the defendant’s
Campaign manager), informed him that it would be a close contest and that it was unlikely to be
finalized on election day—in part because of the time needed to process large numbers of mail-in
ballots prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic.” They also told the defendant that the initial returns

that would diminish as mail-in ballots were counted because his own supporters favored in-person
voting, while supporters of his opponent, Joseph R. Biden, favored mail-in ballots
