MS Now reports that the White House hosted a briefing for about two dozen pro-Trump conspiracy theorists and election deniers this week, led by the conservative lawyer Cleta Mitchell, who was on Donald Trump’s notorious phone call with Georgia’s top election official on 2 January 2001, in which the president asked for 11,780 votes for Joe Biden to be tossed out, which would have enabled Trump to win the state’s 2020 presidential election by a single vote.
One of the participants told the broadcaster the presentation “was basically all the media reporting that John Solomon and others have done already.”
Solomon, a former Associated Press reporter turned far-right media figure, became a special government employee of the White House last month. He has reportedly been working with Bill Pulte, Trump’s acting director of national intelligence, to declassify documents on alleged efforts by foreign nations to interfere in US elections.
