Inside the Oval Office: Trump's Briefing on Fake Electors and January 6 Revealed in Exclusive Recordings

Recordings obtained by CNN reveal that during a December 2020 Oval Office photo-op, attorney Kenneth Chesebro deviated from the plan and told then-President Donald Trump that he could still win the election by using "alternate electors" in Arizona and six other states. Chesebro's comments gave Trump renewed hope and contributed to his false claims of victory. Former RNC chairman Reince Priebus, who arranged the meeting, was "extremely concerned" and warned Chesebro and another attorney not to disclose what happened. Chesebro's account, obtained from an interview with Michigan state prosecutors, sheds light on Trump's delusions and the efforts of those around him to support his baseless claims.
