Washington A draft superintendent order written by Donald Trump’s White House in the weeks after his defeat in the 2020 election directed the nation’s top military leader to seize voting machines, a report said Friday.
The explosive document, released by the National Libraries and attained by Politico, highlights the extreme measures Trump may have been willing to take to cleave to power against the will of choosers who picked Joe Biden to be their coming chairman.
Dated December 16 2020, the order sought to appoint a special counsel to bring charges on any fraud allegations that arose from the seizures. But it was noway inked It’s among 750-plus records turned over to the House of Representatives select commission probing the 2021 Capitol assault after the Supreme Court rejected Trump’s appeal to block their release Effective incontinently, the Secretary of Defense shall seize, collect, retain and dissect all machines, outfit, electronically stored information, and material records needed for retention,”says the three- runner draft.
The document reprises numerous of the debunked conspiracy propositions about addressed voting machines that were pushed by numbers in Trump’s route now being targeted by congressional investigators, including right- sect attorney Sidney Powell She falsely told journalists the election had been targeted by”communist plutocrat through Venezuela, Cuba, and likely China.”
