Trump has planned a pressure campaign from within the White House against his own vice president to turn him around the election.
Trump plans his coup in the White House
By early January 2021, amid his sweeping attempt to reverse the election result, Trump was so in love with Eastman’s advice that the two teamed up during an Oval Office meeting to push Pence into to seize to help Mr. Trump remains in power through the certificate of victory of Joseph R. Biden Jr. to be postponed to 6 January.
In a two-page memo written by Mr. Eastman that was distributed to the White House in the days before certification — revealed in the new book “Danger” by Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Robert Costa, Mr. Eastman said Mr. Pence as vice-president was “the ultimate arbiter” of the election, essentially saying that he had the power to determine who wins, and that “we must take all our actions with that in mind.”
