“Last week, former President Trump made allegations that, with the help of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and United States Attorneys, he assisted in ending ‘ballot theft’ in the 2018 election for Florida’s governor and prevented that ‘Election from being stolen’,” said the beginning of the letter.
In a tweet posted to her account, Fried said, “Floridians deserve to know their elections are operating with integrity.”
