Ds November 3, 2020, when Donald Trump began to feel that the renewal of his mandate was probably going to escape him, his clan was ready to do anything to prevent the coming to power of Joe Biden.

Particularly present on Twitter, Donald Trump Jr is at that time one of the fiercest – and most aggressive – defenders of his father, who still refuses to recognize the victory of Joe Biden, two weeks after the announcement of the results. of the presidential. A few days after the election, he called for “total war” against what he considered to be “fraud” and “cheating”.
This frenetic commitment is illustrated today in elements revealed by CNN, which evokes text messages sent by Donald Trump Jr to Mark Meadows, chief of staff of the White House at the time of the elections. On November 5, two days after the election and while the votes were still being counted, the son of the president at the end of his mandate assured his interlocutor that his camp “has operational control” to ensure that he is re-elected. He presents him with a number of ideas to overturn the verdict. “That’s what we have to do,” he writes, presenting his solutions. Among them, lawsuits and appeals intended to prevent certain key States with tight results from validating their results. But none worked.
