Heated Oval Office meeting included talk of special counsel, martial law as Trump advisers clash

(CNN) - President Donald Trump convened a heated meeting in the Oval Office on Friday, including lawyer Sidney Powell and her client, former national security adviser Michael Flynn, two people familiar with the matter said, describing a session that began as an impromptu gathering but devolved and eventually broke out into screaming matches at certain points as some of Trump's aides pushed back on Powell and Flynn's more outrageous suggestions about overturning the election.

Flynn had suggested earlier this week that Trump could invoke martial law as part of his efforts to overturn the election that he lost to President-elect Joe Biden -- an idea that arose again during the meeting in the Oval Office, one of the people said. It wasn't clear whether Trump endorsed the idea, but others in the room forcefully pushed back and shot it down.

The meeting was first reported by the New York Times.

White House aides who participated in the meeting, including White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and counsel Pat Cipollone, also pushed back intensely on the suggestion of naming Powell as a special counsel to investigate voter fraud allegations Trump's own administration has dismissed (or, as seems more feasible, hiring her in the administration for some kind of investigatory role). Powell has focused her conspiracies on voting machines and has floated the notion of having a special counsel inspect the machines for flaws.

Another idea floated in the meeting was an executive order that would permit the government to access voting machines to inspect them.

One person described the meeting as "ugly" as Powell and Flynn accused others of abandoning the President as he works to overturn the results of the election.

"It was heated -- people were really fighting it out in the Oval, really forceful about it," one of the sources said.

One of the sources described an escalating sense of concern among Trump's aides, even those who have weathered his previous controversies, about what steps he might take next as his term comes to an end.

Shortly after that meeting, Trump's campaign staff received a memo from the campaign legal team on Saturday instructing them to preserve all documents related to Dominion Voting Systems and Powell in anticipation of potential litigation by the company against the pro-Trump attorney.

The memo, viewed by CNN, references a letter Dominion sent to Powell this week demanding she publicly retract her accusations and instructs campaign staff not to alter, destroy or discard records that could be relevant.

A serious internal divide has formed within Trump's campaign following the election with tensions at their highest between the campaign's general counsel, Matt Morgan, who sent the memo Saturday, and Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani. Though the campaign once distanced itself from Powell, Trump has been urging other people to fight like she has, according to multiple people familiar with his remarks. He has asked for more people making her arguments, which are often baseless and filled with conspiracy theories, on television.

The meeting was reported by the NYT with unnamed source.

I don’t believe the NYT. They’re insinuating that their source was at the meeting. Either one of Trump’s closest aids, Ms. Powell, Gen. Flynn, or POTUS, was the leaker. Should be easy enough to find out. Not buying it.

Why? I love when something is written by CNN because I can read the article, think complete opposite of what is written, and have a good picture of the truth.

Rudy discussed this Oval Office meeting on Bannon's War Room today. He attended the WH Christmas Party last night and says he spent the entire time in the Oval with colleagues and the President who wanted to discuss the election fraud case. He said the President was a lot of fun...told a lot of jokes...has a great sense of humor. So, he presented a different version of how things went down.

The meeting with Powell took place after Rudy left

Mrsattorney 5 points ago +5 / -0

The reports I've read said he was there, although one report said Rudy phoned in. I don't necessarily believe any reporting on this. Rudy flat out indicated they met to duscuss election fraud cases/strategy. He said the President spent the evening in the Oval Office and he might not have even known that Brian Kemp showed up at the Christmas party.

It's so sad that their viewers are so low I.Q. that they believe that ANYONE in Trumps "inner circle" would come out of a meeting like this and run and tell any of the douche nozzle fake jourNOlists at CNN anything...this is more made up bullshit from 1 of their super duper secret "sources"

CNN, New York Times, two people familiar with the matter? That's the basis for this story? Sources said Trump had Russian hookers pee on a bed Obama slept in. I'll go ask my rabbits if these stories are true, a source close to the matter said they were in the know.

CNN has written loads of shit like this in the past 4 years trying to make the same type of accusations and that the administration is in "chaos". Ever seen the "walls are closing in" video?

People know about the meeting because Rudy talked about it, then the NYTs made up a lot of crap which then CCN copied.
