Ex-Trump White House Lawyer Says New GOP Election Plot Has 1 Huge Flaw

Former Trump White House attorney Ty Cobb expressed his doubt that Donald Trump’s allies can come up with the required goods — legally speaking — if they attempt to challenge the 2024 election result, should the former president lose to Democratic rival Kamala Harris in November.

“The one thing they need in court is evidence,” Cobb told The New York Times.

“They didn’t have any last time, and they’re unlikely to have any this time,” he added.

The Times report centered on what the newspaper described as the recent “onslaught of litigation” from Republicans who appear to be setting the stage to contest the election result if Trump loses.

Harris and Trump remain neck and neck in polling.

Trump, to this day, falsely maintains that he won the 2020 election against now-President Joe Biden, despite judges dismissing dozens of lawsuits filed by the Trump campaign contesting certain electoral processes.

Cobb has previously called his former boss “a deeply wounded narcissist” whose “compelling instincts” for revenge and narcissism drive him to untruthfully insist he beat Biden.
