13:42Now PlayingMore information is being leaked about Trump’s inner circle planning to overturn the results of the 2020 election just days after polls closed as the administration had “multiple” ways of subverting the election’s actual results. New text messages confiscated by the January 6th committee show that Donald Trump Jr. and Mark Meadows were planning the overthrow since at least November 5th, 2020, with the two discussing ways to keep Trump in power for a second term, specifically by skirting the authority of the Electoral College. Ana Kasparian discusses on The Young Turks. Watch LIVE weekdays 68 pm ET.

"Two days after the 2020 presidential election, as votes were still being tallied, Donald Trump’s eldest son texted then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows that “we have operational control” to ensure his father would get a second term, with Republican majorities in the US Senate and swing state legislatures, CNN has learned.
In the text, which has not been previously reported, Donald Trump Jr. lays out ideas for keeping his father in power by subverting the Electoral College process, according to the message reviewed by CNN. The text is among records obtained by the House select committee investigating January 6, 2021.
“It’s very simple,” Trump Jr. texted to Meadows on November 5, adding later in the same missive: “We have multiple paths We control them all.”
In a statement to CNN, Trump Jr.’s lawyer Alan S. Futerfas said, “After the election, Don received numerous messages from supporters and others. Given the date, this message likely originated from someone else and was forwarded.”
Immediately before his text to Meadows describing multiple paths for challenging the election, Trump Jr. texted Meadows the following: “This is what we need to do please read it and please get it to everyone that needs to see it because I’m not sure we’re doing it.”"
