Trump's lawyers planned to push Congress to delay certification of Biden's win for weeks, documents show

Donald Trump's lawyers plotted to delay certification of Joe Biden's election until Jan. 20, 2021 .

The plan would have seen the Trump campaign pushing GOP lawmakers to prevent Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s win not just on Jan. 6 , but for days afterwards.

GOP legislators would have feigned confusion over competing slates of electors, paralyzing Congress as the campaign brought increasing pressure on the Supreme Court to step in and resolve the election.

In an email to TPM, Chesebro argued that the Electoral Count Act was a “weapon’s” for Democrats .

He suggested that the Trump campaign would need an extra potential 14 days in early January to “force serious review in Congress of election fraud in various states” If Congress couldn’t act, the theory went, the Supreme Court would have no choice but to decide the election.

Emails from the Trump campaign attorney's office show three options to block the ECA from being followed or implemented on Jan. 6 .

The last option was the filibuster, which would allow Republican senators to present evidence of voter fraud.

Chesebro argued that Mike Pence would decline to open the votes of states where the fake electors had convened.
