Trump Demands FBI Probe After Michigan Clerks Flag ‘Care Packages’
The 2020 voter registration controversy in Muskegon, Michigan, is getting fresh attention after President Trump called for a full investigation into GBI Strategies, also known as Empower Michigan.
The Gateway Pundit says the Muskegon case was not an isolated episode. The outlet points to an 86-page Michigan State Police report, obtained through FOIA by Muskegon residents Keith Hinkle and Chris Kaijala, that began on October 8, 2020. That report focused on suspicious voter registration forms connected to the 2020 election cycle.
Now, the bigger question is whether clerks in other parts of Michigan saw the same thing.
According to the report, a whistleblower contacted the outlet after its original August 2023 story and shared screenshots from a Michigan clerks’ Facebook page. Those posts allegedly showed multiple clerks discussing packages and envelopes filled with questionable voter registrations. Some clerks reportedly referred to them as “care packages.”
The reported return label on at least one box included the initials “EM,” which the outlet identifies as Empower Michigan. The return address was reportedly tied to a hotel in Auburn Hills, Michigan.
That detail matters because GBI Strategies and Empower Michigan have been described in the reporting as connected operations involved in voter registration work. The outlet also says the effort was funded in part by Joe Biden’s presidential campaign and then-candidate Gary Peters’ U.S. Senate campaign.
President Trump brought the issue back into the national conversation during a recent address. He said he wants federal law enforcement to dig into what happened and hold people accountable if crimes were committed.
“Tonight, I’m asking the FBI Director to ensure that the matter is fully investigated and to work with the Department of Justice to prosecute those responsible for any crimes,” President Trump said.

The whistleblower reportedly asked to remain anonymous, citing fear of retaliation from Michigan officials. According to the outlet, the person said the police report was accurate but did not capture the full scope of what clerks were seeing across the state.
The claims are serious. The screenshots described in the report allegedly include clerks talking about registration forms with repeated signatures, matching last four digits of Social Security numbers, fake names, and fake addresses. If accurate, that points to a much wider problem than one city office receiving a strange batch of forms.
One key post cited by the outlet came from Muskegon City Clerk Ann Meisch on October 5, 2020. The post allegedly included a photo of the package she received, along with images of registration signatures that appeared similar. Meisch reportedly said the “care package” came from the Staybridge Motel in Auburn Hills, Michigan, and listed “EM” as the return name.
For years, Americans were told the 2020 election was secure and that questions about irregularities were not worth asking. But documents, police reports, and clerk-level concerns are not conspiracy theories. They are records that deserve daylight.
That does not mean every allegation has already been proven in court. It does mean voters have a right to know why clerks were receiving bulk registration packages, who sent them, who paid for the work, and whether any invalid forms made it into the system.

Michigan remains one of the most important battleground states in the country. Any credible report involving voter registration irregularities should be handled with transparency, not buried under political talking points.
If the paperwork is clean, officials should prove it. If it is not, the public deserves names, charges, and answers.
