Description

Legendary Watergate journalist Carl Bernstein said Sunday that a newly reported memo by another Donald Trump loyalist on how to overturn the presidential election was part of Trump’s “blueprint” for his planned “authoritarian coup.” “What we are seeing in these memos particularly are blueprints for a coup — the actual blueprints in document form in which the president of the United States, through his chief of staff, is sending to Mike Pence’s... staff a blueprint to overturn an election, a blueprint for a conspiracy led by a president of the United States to result in an authoritarian coup in which the election is stolen,” Bernstein told CNN’s Jim Acosta. “Of course there was a conspiracy,” he added. It was a “conspiracy led by the president of the United States to overturn the duly elected president... by thwarting the Electoral College process.”
