Inside Chuck Gray’s working relationship with election denier Cleta Mitchell

After working to overturn President Donald Trump’s 2020 election defeat, Cleta Mitchell, a conservative attorney and former Oklahoma state lawmaker, began building a national movement aimed at remaking American elections.
