Donald Trump Jr. texted Mark Meadows days after the election to demand the White House ensures that his father wins.
The former president’s son also suggested that the U.S. House could vote for president by state party delegation if neither Trump nor Biden got enough electoral votes to be declared the winner, with each state getting one vote.
“We either have a vote WE control and WE win OR it gets kicked to Congress 6 January 2021,” said Trump Jr. His final suggestion was having the White House dismiss FBI Director Christopher Wray, who angered Trump and his allies by not releasing information that they believed would be harmful to the former president’s rivals.
“Fire Wray,” the president’s son told Meadows, adding that former acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell should replace him. Later that same day, Grenell announced that he was joining Trump campaign officials in filing a lawsuit to “stop the counting of illegal votes.”New YorkerTrump Jr.
