Lawyer Who Helped Trump Try To Overturn Election Says He May Use 'Emergency Powers' To Take Control of Elections

[C_Clayton_Jones]

‘A lawyer who helped President Donald Trump try to overturn the 2020 election claimed the president can “exercise some emergency powers” to wield authority over elections, which are a state matter.

After the 2020 election, Cleta Mitchell, then a partner at Foley & Lardner, participated in the infamous phone call in which Trump tried to pressure Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find” 11,780 votes, which was one more than Trump’s margin of defeat in the state. Raffensperger denied Trump’s baseless claims of fraud. Mitchell later alleged that Raffensperger was “simply not correct.”

After the call became public, Mitchell resigned from Foley & Lardner. Last week, she appeared on Washington Watch, where she vaguely claimed that Trump could invoke emergency powers to take control of elections.’

Yet another example of Trump’s contempt for the rule of law, states’ rights, and democracy.

There isn't a lick of veracity to this claim.

Libs have always been in the forefront on pushing "states rights" in order to defeat American democracy.

Same playbook they've always used against the American people.

A lot of states are now teaching about the Contested Fake Election of 2020, something that America wants to avoid repeating at all costs.
