Trump Denies Report He Discussed Idea Of Imposing Martial Law And ‘Re-Running’ The Election
On Saturday, the Times reported that Trump held a White House meeting to discuss new ways to resist or overturn Joe Biden’s presidential victory. It was said that he entertained a recommendation his former aide had made on the conservative Newsmax TV to “rerun” the 2020 election under military supervision.

Former national security adviser Michael Flynn had suggested earlier this week that Trump could invoke martial law as part of his efforts to overturn the election that he lost to Joe Biden. It wasn’t clear whether Trump endorsed the idea, but others in the room forcefully pushed back and shot it down, according to the news site. CNN reports that the meeting even became heated with lawyer Sidney Powell and her client, and Flynn at the Oval Office. A source described the session as an impromptu gathering before it broke out into screaming matches at certain points as some of Trump’s aides pushed back on Powell and Flynn’s outrageous suggestions about overturning the election.
Trump has made a tweet, denying claims that he even entertained the idea. “Martial law = Fake News. Just more knowingly bad reporting!” He tweeted. Trump later added, ”GREATEST ELECTION FRAUD IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY!!!”
Meanwhile, his former attorney Rudy Giuliani tweeted this Monday morning: “Let’s find out,once and for all, did Biden cheat to become President like he cheated to get through law school? PA, Ariz., GA, Michigan and Wisconsin should agree to let us audit the Dominion machines. What are they afraid of, if they didn’t cheat? No winner without an audit?”
