Trump's Secret Memo Reveals Controversial Plot to Overturn 2020 Election

An internal Trump campaign memo reveals new details about the plan to subvert the Electoral College process and install fake GOP electors in multiple states after losing the 2020 presidential election. The memo outlined how then-Vice President Mike Pence should declare his constitutional power to open and count the votes from the GOP electors during the Electoral College certification. The architect of the plan, Kenneth Chesebro, acknowledged that it was controversial and likely to be rejected by the Supreme Court but promoted it anyway to draw attention to alleged electoral abuses by Democrats and buy more time for litigation. The scheme has become part of the federal indictment against Trump, with Chesebro identified as an unindicted co-conspirator.
