Text messages obtained by CNN show Fox News host Sean Hannity and then-White House Chief-of-Staff Mark Meadows discussing the possibility of overturning the 2020 presidential election.
The election was held on Nov. 3 and called for Joe Biden by numerous news outlets on Nov. 7. Donald Trump has falsely maintained the election was rigged against him ever since.
One week after the election, Hannity asked Meadows how he was “holding up.”
“I am doing well. Working around the clock. We are going to fight and win,” Meadows texted.
“You really think it’s possible,” Hannity replied. “I’m beginning to feel down. To [sic] much disorganization.”
On Nov. 29, Hannity texted Meadows to inform him he had people working to prove voter fraud occurred in the election.
“I’ve had my team digging into the numbers,” he told Meadows. “There is no way Biden got these numbers. Just mathematically impossible. It’s so sad for this country they can pull this off in 2020. We need a major breakthrough, a video, something.”
Meadows replied, “You’re exactly right. Working on breakthrough.”
Hannity responded, “Ok. Would be phenomenal.”
The cable host also told Meadows that Trump team should spend more time working with Fox News.
