Trump Jr. pitched ‘very simple’ plan to White House to overturn 2020 election – By Brandi Buchman (Daily Kos) / April 08, 2022
In a series of messages exclusively obtained and reviewed by CNN on Friday, Donald Trump Jr. reportedly sent texts to former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows with ideas about how his father, Donald Trump, could stay in power even before the official results of the 2020 election were called.
“It’s very simple. We have multiple paths. We control them all,” Trump Jr. reportedly wrote to Meadows on Nov. 5, 2020. President-elect Joe Biden would not be declared the official winner until Nov. 7.
Alan Futerfas, an attorney for the president’s eldest son, told CNN the message to Meadows was a forward. Incidentally, when the Jan. 6 committee exposed text messages sent by Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio to Mark Meadows, Jordan said the same had occurred.
“After the election, Don received numerous messages from supporters and others. Given the date, this message likely originated from someone else and was forwarded,” Futerfas said.
