Donald Trump (74) does not give up after bankruptcy before the Supreme Court: he still wants to conjure his electoral victory, although seven million more Americans voted for Joe Biden (78) and the electorate with 306 to 232 votes for the Democrats have decided.
On Friday there was a scandal with his advisers in the Oval Office of the White House. Trump expressed the intention of using the controversial lawyer Sidney Powell (65) as a special investigator for the alleged electoral fraud, this after he fired her a few weeks ago for failures.
Controversial lawyer
Powell, who had drawn attention to far-right conspiracy theorists “QAnon,” alleged, among other things, that the Venezuelan government had manipulated vote-counting software to influence the results of the US elections. The New York Times reported.
As the newspaper reports, there were heated discussions in which meeting participants yelled at each other. Most of the advisers had rejected Trump’s idea, including Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani (76).
Is the army coming?
Trump is apparently now even considering deploying the military in the fight against “electoral manipulation.” The report says it asked about the possible use of military forces.
Trump’s former national security adviser, Michael Flynn (61), launched this idea this week. Flynn had called for martial law to be re-enforced.
Although Republicans have already been removed from office with a lawsuit in the Supreme Court, Trump also continues his fight in the Supreme Court. Trump’s team demands that the Supreme Court overturn the Pennsylvania Supreme Court rulings. Background: Many invalid votes were counted.
Last week, Trump asked his supporters to gather in Washington on January 6, 2021 for “wild” protests.
Restless Trump employees
News site Axios writes that high-ranking officials in the Trump administration are increasingly concerned that the president is engaging in such mind games and surrounding conspiracy theorists.
A Trump confidant said: “It’s impossible not to worry about how this ends.” (gf)
