Otter Globe and Intelligencer: “Comments made by Donald J. Trump and Amy Coney Barrett in the last few days suggest that Trump may have made his nomination of Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court contingent upon a promise to rule in Trump’s favor on all election related proceedings regardless of the merits of the case. Such an agreement would constitute the making and acceptance of an illegal solicitation for appointive public office, constituting a conspiracy to defraud the United States by undermining the tally of a Federal Election.”
