Trump Considers Making Sidney Powell Special Counsel To Probe Election Issues During Heated Meeting: Reports

President Donald Trump reportedly met with his personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, attorney Sidney Powell, and former Lt. General Michael Flynn on Friday where several ideas were discussed that appear to have been shot down after the president’s top allies and advisers intervened to warn the president.

During the meeting, Trump considered making “Powell, who as a lawyer for his campaign team unleashed a series of conspiracy theories about a Venezuelan plot to rig voting machines in the United States, a special counsel investigating voter fraud,” The New York Times reported. “Most of his advisers opposed the idea, two of the people briefed on the discussion said, including Rudolph W. Giuliani, the president’s personal lawyer, who in recent days sought to have the Department of Homeland Security join the campaign’s efforts to overturn Mr. Trump’s loss in the election.”
