Prosecutors have revealed disturbing details of an alleged effort by Trump operatives to sow chaos in the aftermath of the 2020 election, particularly when it appeared that President Joe Biden was leading in the polls.
In Philadelphia, campaign operatives are accused of attempting to instigate confrontations at polling places and falsely claiming that their election observers were being denied proper access, as a prelude to alleging fraud.
Furthermore, prosecutors highlighted an incident at the Detroit Counting Center where a campaign staffer reportedly inquired about legal options upon learning of a significant batch of votes favoring Biden, even if the grounds were flimsy.
Alarming statements were made by a campaign operative who allegedly urged to 'make them riot' upon hearing about protests at the counting center, reminiscent of the disruptive Brooks Brothers riot during the 2000 Florida count.
Trump himself reportedly expressed concerns about attorney Sidney Powell, who spread false election information, describing her as 'unhinged' and mocking her claims as 'crazy.' He even made references to the science fiction series Star Trek when discussing her allegations.
Subsequently, the campaign distanced itself from Powell, asserting that she was acting independently in her legal pursuits and was not officially part of Trump's legal team, despite previous statements suggesting otherwise.
