Former Trump adviser: Plans to overturn the results of the 2020 U.S. presidential election were undermined by riots on Capitol Hill

According to the Russian Satellite News Agency reported on the 6th, in November last year, Peter Navarro, a former trade adviser to former US President Trump, released a memoir called "In Trump Time", detailing "the story of a president who worked day and night for the American people" .

Navarro expresses disappointment that violence during the January 6, 2021 Capitol Hill riots disrupted Republican plans to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

In an interview with Microsoft's National Broadcasting Corporation (MSNBC) on Tuesday (4th), Navarro shared details about the plan developed by Trump's legal team to challenge the election results, code-named "Green Bay Sweep" (Green Bay Sweep).

"Our plan is simple: We got more than 100 members of the House and senators on Capitol Hill to prepare for this sweep, and it was as simple as that," Navarro said. We plan to challenge the election results of six battlefield states. He was referring to Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Nevada.

However, the former adviser said the plan required "peace and calm on Capitol Hill" — the opposite of what happened on Jan. 6.

Navarro also praised Senators Ted Cruz and Rep. Paul Gosar for "beautifully" opposing the 2020 election results as members of Congress gathered to certify the votes of the Electoral College.

Navarro lamented: "The plan was flawless at first, but violence transcended this event. The rest, like they say, is history. ”

According to the book "The Trump Era" cited by Rolling Stone magazine, the plan envisages putting pressure on then-Vice President Mike Pence to delay the certification process for as long as possible, forcing him to "shelve the election certification for at least a few more weeks." Navarro described the plan as "the last, best chance to take back stolen elections from the deception of Democrats."

However, things have changed differently. On January 6 last year, protesters stormed the U.S. Capitol to demand that the election results be revoked. Former President Trump has been accused of seditious rebellion, but he strenuously denied any wrongdoing. After his unprecedented second impeachment on those charges, the Senate acquitted Trump after his presidency ended. (Editor: SDY)
