President Donald Trump is contemplating using the military in martial law in order to right what he believes was wrong with the 2020 presidential election.

The news was broken on Twitter by New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman who gave the details of her story in a series of tweets.

“Sidney Powell was in Oval Office last night as POTUS discussed making her special counsel for election fraud,” she said to begin her screed.

“Among those pushing back on the idea were Pat Cipollone, Meadows, and even Giuliani. But Giuliani separately pushed DHS this week to seize control of voting machines to examine them for possible fraud. DHS said it has no authority to do that.

“The meeting got raucous, with various administration members drifting in and out and different people arguing. Powell told others they were quitters, people briefed on the meeting,” Haberman said.

“The fact of the meeting – and Giuliani’s hope of seizing the voting machines – has alarmed some of the president’s advisers, who see his desire to take his refusal to accept the election results as in a dangerous new place.
