NEW YORK (Dagbladet): Both The New York Times and CNN describe a very heated meeting at the White House last week where participants allegedly yelled at each other “”.

they yelled at each other

President Donald Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, recently pardoned General Michael Flynn, Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and controversial conspiracy theorist and attorney Sidney Powell were among those who participated. Among other things, they are said to have proposed introducing a state of emergency and using the armed forces to reverse the outcome of the elections and take over the voting machines in the states. On Monday, Powell, among others, was back in the White House.

“Sources that have become accustomed to Trump’s outbursts in the last four years have sounded over the last week scared of what happens when I speak to them,” writes well-known New York Times journalist Maggie Haberman. Twitter.

Senior employees in the Trump administration will increasingly fear that Trump is abusing his power in an attempt to reverse the election outcome, Axios writes.

More marginal and extreme

Trump still refuses to acknowledge the electoral defeat against Joe Biden. Biden received seven million more votes. The Electoral College also voted 306-232 to declare Biden president. Since the Nov. 3 election, Trump has lost countless lawsuits, referenda, and attempts to pressure local shop stewards. More and more Republicans have accepted that Biden will be the next president of the United States.

But Trump himself still claims without documentation that he lost due to extensive electoral fraud. And now he surrounds himself with an increasingly marginal and extreme circle of people, according to the US media.

Several other Republican leaders, including powerful Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Trump’s own outgoing attorney general Bill Barr, have rejected Trump’s claims and extreme attempts at what appears to be a coup attempt. Therefore, Trump is increasingly isolated.

Satanist pedophilia

Trump’s unofficial advisory group now includes a convicted felon, conspiracy theory supporters QAnon, a business adviser and a former lover of a Russian agent, writes the Washington Post.

It was this group that gathered in the Oval Office on Friday for a marathon meeting of more than four hours.

On Monday, Trump met again with Giuliani and a group of Republican congressmen from the very conservative House Freedom Caucus. The group included, among others, incoming congressional representative, Marjorie Taylor Green. She made a name for herself with what many perceived to be clearly racist statements in the election campaign. Hum is also a public supporter of the QAnon conspiracy theory. It claims completely without documentation that large sections of the Democratic Party, Hollywood and other leaders of American society are part of a satanic pedophilia, and that Trump is a savior against this ring.

Greene is one of the Republicans in Congress, who has signaled that she will try to challenge Biden’s certification as the next president of the United States, which will take place in Congress on January 6.

Deceased president

Sidney Powell claimed in a press conference with Giuliani on November 19 that the electoral defeat was due in part to a widespread conspiracy in which even the former president of Venezuela, Hugo Chávez, was involved. This despite the fact that he died in 2013. She was later removed from Trump’s legal team because the conspiracies appeared to be completely unrealistic.

Now, however, he is back in the heat. Among other things, Powell is said to have told Trump that they have evidence of cheating with voting machines, and Trump will consider appointing her as a letter investigator to investigate the election outcome.

Trump’s Justice Minister Bill Barr, who will step down in the next few days, said Monday that he did not think it was right to appoint her.

Strike back against Trump

Trump, according to Washington Post sources, will also rely heavily on his trade adviser, Peter Navarro, for information on the election.

Trump’s attorney Giuliani has received a lot of attention for his violent actions since the election. Among other things, he has proposed that federal authorities seize and inspect state voting machines. Former national security and general adviser Michael Flynn, who was recently pardoned, said in an interview with Trump’s close friend Newsmax television that Trump could order the military to conduct re-election in crucial tipping states. .

Relationship with the spy

Another fairly new character in Trump’s circle of advisers is Patrick Byrne. He is the former senior manager of the online store Overstock. In Twitter he also argues why he believes the election was rigged in favor of Biden. He also tweets about the famous meeting on Friday.

Prior to this, Byrne is also known as a conspiracy theorist. In August 2019, he resigned from his position as manager after revealing that he had been in a romantic relationship with Maria Butina. She was a Russian student in the United States, who in April 2019 pleaded guilty to working as a Russian agent. Among other things, he is said to have tried to establish channels between the Kremlin and prominent Republican politicians and conservative organizations such as the National Rifle Association.
