MARGARET BRENNAN: “There was also another story, significant… POLITICO published the text of a draft executive order that had been presented to President Trump in December of 2020 to have the defense secretary seize voting machines in battleground states… Do you intend to go to the Attorney General, Bill Barr, to ask him about this? How do you follow up on – on this kind of allegation and the paperwork to back it up?”

THOMPSON: “Well, yes, we do. To be honest with you, we’ve had conversations with the former attorney general already. We have talked to Department of Defense individuals… if you are using the military to potentially seize voting machines, even though it’s a discussion, the public needs to know. We’ve never had that before. And so any of these individuals who are participating and trying to stop the election, the duly election of a president, and if we can document it, we will share it with the public.”

MARGARET BRENNAN: “Do you have proof that there was someone inside the US military working on this premise? Of actually seizing voting machines.”

THOMPSON: “Well we have information that between the Department of Justice a plan was put forward to potentially seize voting machines in the country and utilize Department of Defense assets to make that happen… We do know that a potential person was identified to become the attorney general of the United States. who would communicate with certain states that election on their situation had been fraudulent and not to produce certified documents. Well. we understand that. So we will move forward on that investigation and we will look and see specifically how far that plan went.”
