Trump Mulls Martial Law, Sidney Powell as Special Counsel on Election Fraud

HeadlineDec 21, 2020

President Trump is reportedly mulling increasingly desperate ways to overturn the results of the election. In a heated Oval Office meeting Friday that included recently pardoned former national security adviser Michael Flynn and his attorney Sidney Powell, Trump considered appointing Powell, who promoted conspiracy theories about rigged voting machines, as special counsel to investigate alleged voter fraud. Powell had been ousted from the Trump campaign legal team over her outrageous remarks. Trump also reportedly discussed invoking martial law, which Flynn had suggested earlier in the week. Sidney Powell was seen back at the White House Sunday night.
