NEW YORK (Dagbladet): The day after Trump supporters stormed Congress in an attempt to halt the certification of Joe Biden as the next president of the United States, Trump’s close supporter sent Fox News text messages to Trump’s spokesman Kayleigh McEnany.
In the message from January 7, 2021, he begged that Donald Trump had to stop talking about the election being stolen. He also begged that “no more mad people” should have access to the president. McEnany is said to have agreed, writes The Guardian.
However, Trump still claims that the election was stolen from him without any evidence of extensive electoral fraud.

Surrounded
The former president continues to surround himself with conspiracy theorists on the far right. Among other things, the profiled top manager for MyPillow was on stage before Trump during his previous rally in Arizona.
Lindell made it clear to Dagbladet that he believes Trump will become president again.

Hannity himself has served as a close adviser and supporter of Trump. The former president has visited his program a number of times, and Hannity has attended Trump’s rallies.
However, the committee in Congress, which is investigating the January 6 attack, has revealed that Hannity was clearly shaken by what happened.
Parts of the message exchange between McEnany and Hannity are included in a letter the committee has sent to Trump’s daughter Ivanka, who they also want to ask about the incident.
According to the letter, Hannity first texted a five-point approach for talks with the then president. The first two points were:
1 – No more talking about a stolen election.
2 – Yes, the Supreme Court and the 25th Amendment (where the government removes the incumbent president because he is unable to perform the office journ.anm.) Are real, and many people will quit.
– Love it. Thank you. This is the plan. I want to help reinforce, McEnany writes in Hannity’s response.
Shortly afterwards, Trump was put on trial for the second time.
– Crazy people
‘Crucial now. No more crazy people “, wrote Hannity, who wanted the most extreme advisers to no longer have access to Trump.
Friday also writes Politico about how Trump and his associates drafted an order for the Pentagon to seize voting machines after the election defeat.
The draft was written a few weeks after the election defeat and has been released by the US National Archives in connection with the investigation into the storming of the congress building a year ago.
The document highlights the extreme measures Trump considered to retain power against the will of the majority of voters, writes Politico.
