“But under oath in a court deposition earlier this year, Flynn for the first time on record acknowledged there was no evidence to support a key part of some election fraud claims — that an executive at Dominion Voting Systems helped rig the 2020 election through the company’s voting machines.”

“A month later, Flynn was back on TV, telling Chris Cuomo on NewsNation that the 2020 election was ‘filled with fraud’ and that there is ‘clear evidence’ to back it up. Pressed for details, Flynn declined to elaborate.”
