TFG was poised to appoint Kraken lady as special counsel to help overturn election: report
Former President Trump reportedly verbally agreed to appoint conspiracy theorist Sidney Powell as a special counsel to push his false claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election that he lost.
In December 2020, the president told Powell and other informal advisers that he planned to name her to the post as he also mulled signing a draft executive order to seize voting machines in battleground states, the Guardian reported Friday.
Even though Trump was eventually talked out of taking the outrageous steps, the revelations show how seriously he pursued the unconstitutional scheme to overturn the election results and stay in power.
Powell, who pushed false claims about rigged voting machines, showed up at the White House on Dec. 18 along with disgraced ex-National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne, a prominent far right-wing activist.
