Former President Donald Trump had drafted a memo calling for staff members who did not believe the 2020 presidential election was rigged to be removed from their posts, according to a report released by the U.S. House committee.
The draft statement, which was never sent out, was brought up during the House Select Committee's interview of Trump White House Counsel Pasquale Anthony "Pat" Cipollone as part of their investigation of the events that led to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
"Anybody that thinks there wasn't massive fraud in 2020 election should be fired," the drafted memo read, according to Cipollone, whose deposition was released by the House Select Committee on Friday.
The drafted memo came weeks after former Atty. Gen. Bill Barr dismissed Trump's claims of widespread voter fraud during the 2020 election, adding that the U.S. Justice Department found no evidence of fraud that could have changed the outcome of the election.
