President Donald Trump convened a heated meeting in the Oval Office on Friday, including lawyer Sidney Powell and her client, former national security adviser Michael Flynn, two people familiar with the matter said, describing a session that began as an impromptu gathering but devolved and eventually broke out into screaming matches at certain points as some of Trump's aides pushed back on Powell and Flynn's more outrageous suggestions about overturning the election.
Flynn had
suggested earlier this week that Trump could invoke martial law as part
of his efforts to overturn the election that he lost to President-elect
Joe Biden -- an idea that arose again during the meeting in the Oval
Office, one of the people said. It wasn't clear whether Trump endorsed
the idea, but others in the room forcefully pushed back and shot it
down.
Ho-hum. A President meets with his advisors.
ReplyDeleteMartial law. It has a Trumpian ring. I like it.
