Donald Trump Jr. texted White House chief of staff Mark Meadows about a plan to use alternative Republican electors, messages obtained by Arizona prosecutors have shown. The text was sent just two days after the 2020 presidential election and while votes were still being counted.
Although Meadows and Trump Jr.'s names are redacted in the document, the same text was obtained unredacted in 2022 by the Congressional January 6 Committee. Donald Trump Jr. sent the text on November 5, 2020, two days before media outlets called Joe Biden as the winner of the presidential election.
In their criminal complaint, prosecutors say that on November 5, 2020, one of the people indicted in the case received a text that stated that President Donald Trump "should 'urge GOP officials in close states to expose shenanigans and, if necessary, to refuse to seat [Joe] Biden electors in the event of a fake count.'"
"That same day, [Trump's] son texted [Meadows] a more developed plan revolving around the electors," Arizona prosecutors state in a criminal complaint released on Wednesday.

rose garden ripped out just because he wanted to be a prick. Trump was told by some of his
numbers people in the spring of 2020 that he was underwater in the polls and that his unfavorable
#s were too big to overcome.

(70,588 posts)Btw the new garden is God awful. The L.A. who designed the original one and the man who
oversaw its construction were very good unlike the crew that redid it which looked like something
from Green Guys Mowing, We clean gutters too. They had to rip it out and redo it because they
had ruined the drain tiles under Jackies Rose Garden and so it flooded.
Btw in redoing the garden they killed roses that 1st Ladies had been planting since I think
the Lincoln. The grounds department of the White House had been keeping those roses
going for over 125 years. It was not Melanias urge to design the space but Trump just wanted
to be a prick. He also had the basketball court that President Obama used ripped out in Dec.
of 2020 and replaced with a tennis court and clubhouse that nobody from the Trump administration
ever used.
Trump really is a no good shit. Who likes being a dick.
And yes the rose garden needs to be redone but probably after the election.
