Claim 7: “Nearly six years after President Donald Trump and his allies sought to overturn the results of the 2020 election”

MISLEADING

While Wikipedia and news reports confirm Trump and allies sought to overturn the 2020 election, the claim states this happened 'nearly six years' prior. The 2020 election occurred approximately 4-5 years prior to current live evidence (2024/2025), making the 'six years' timeline inaccurate.
