Trump attorneys thought Clarence Thomas was 'only chance' to block certification of 2020 election, according to a report
Former President Donald Trump's attorneys thought Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas would be their"only chance" at thwarting President Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 election, according to emails from Trump lawyer Kenneth Chesebro.
Chesebro said that Thomas, a justice appointed by former President George H. W. Bush in 1991, would be"our only chance to get a favorable judicial opinion by Jan. 6, which might hold up the Georgia count in Congress." Thomas is in charge of handling emergency matters stemming from Georgia and would have been the justice to receive an emergency appeal of Trump's lawsuit to the Supreme Court.
"[I]f we can just get this case pending before the Supreme Court by Jan. 5, ideally with something positive written by a judge or justice, hopefully Thomas, I think it’s our best shot at holding up the count of a state in Congress,” Chesebro said in another Dec. 31, 2020, email.
