  • You're Fired: Conspiracy-Theorist Sidney Powell Booted From Trump Legal Team

    Business Insider reports the Trump campaign has purged attorney Sidney Powell from its legal team. Last week, Powell baselessly alleged a global conspiracy to steal the 2020 US presidential election from President Donald Trump. The conspiracy, Powell claimed, involved hacking voting machines and former Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez. Chavez, a communist, died in 2013. That dubious claim was then promoted on social media by the Republican Party. On Sunday, the campaign issued a statement asserting that Powell 'is practicing law on her own.' Sidney Powell is practicing law on her own. She is not a member of the Trump Legal Team. She is also not a lawyer for the President in his personal capacity. Jenna Ellis, legal advisor, and Rudy Giuliani, personal attorney to President Donald Trump

  • Trump Is Saying One Thing About Voter Fraud, But His Lawsuits Say Another

    President Donald Trump has repeatedly complained about voter fraud, and has sworn he'll litigate over it. But according to Business Insider, in the five lawsuits he's brought over the election so far, none contain any such allegations. Four of them are about the vote-counting process. The other one wants to see votes that came late in the mail in Pennsylvania invalidated. Every election, millions of Americans vote by mail. Nonpartisan experts and multiple studies have uncovered absolutely no evidence of widespread voter fraud. In fact, Trump himself, and many of his top staff and family members, have voted by mail--or tried to--in recent years.

  • FBI Investigates Robocalls Trying To Suppress, Intimidate Voters

    The FBI is investigating a series of suspicious robocalls and texts urging voters to 'stay home and stay safe' during the election. A senior cybersecurity official said Tuesday that such calls 'happen every election,' and are a tactic to intimidate and suppress voters. According to Business Insider, approximately 10 million such robocalls have gone out to voters across the US in recent months. Officials in Michigan said that some voters in Flint also received calls telling them to go to the polls on Wednesday to avoid long lines on Tuesday. In Kansas and Nebraska, similar calls were reported. Officials urged voters in both states to ignore the false claims and head to the polls.

  • Ignoring The Truth, Trump Insists Election Results Will Be Called On The Same Day

    A record-shattering 100 million Americans cast their ballots in the 2020 general election before polls opened Tuesday. CNN reports the millions of mail-in ballots are expected to lead to a delay in the counting of votes once the polls close. Nevertheless, President Donald Trump has continued to falsely claim that the count is supposed to be completed by Election Night. His stance is politically beneficial because more GOP voters are expected to show up on Election Day, while more Democrats are expected to vote through the mail. Even before polls opened on Election Day, both presidential camps were gearing up for legal confrontations. The changes to voting rules due to the pandemic sparked a litany of court cases over rules related to voting and the counting of ballots.

  • Trump Tells Supporters Behind Closed Doors Campaign Plans To Contest Individual Ballots

    For months, President Donald Trump has trailed Democratic opponent Joe Biden in the polls. At the same time, Trump has incessantly stirred fears of widespread voter fraud, despite consistently being rebutted by election officials. Now, Business Insider reports Trump told supporters at a closed-door event in Nashville that his campaign expects to dispute individual ballots. Millions of Americans have cast their ballots by post as the coronavirus continues to sweep the US. In several states, the GOP argues ballots received after Election Day should not be counted. In others, signature verification is expected to be a key issue. A Trump campaign official says the campaign has 8,500 lawyers on standby to 'sue if we need to.'
