The Blue Wave is Here and Embattled Trump is Going Down

 

William Olson, a conservative lawyer who once worked in the Nixon White House and now represents MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, sent a detailed plan to President Donald Trump to help him attempt to remain in power.

The memo, which was obtained by The New York Times, was sent to Trump on December 28, 2020. A few days prior, on Christmas Day, Trump and Olson spoke on the phone, highlighting the range of right-wing figures who were in the president's ear as he sought to subvert the election results.

The memo and the call had not previously been reported.

In the memo, Olson told Trump that people around him at the White House and the Justice Department were not doing enough to contest the election results, but that the president still had options. He said one White House lawyer, who was not named, had a "shameful and dismissive attitude" that was "unacceptable."
