Trump Justice Department drafts contingency plan to intervene in upcoming election

According to multiple insiders, the Justice Department is preparing a "doomsday" contingency that could allow federal courts to step in during the November 3 election if certain triggers are met. Attorney General Todd Blanche has launched lawsuits in Alaska and California, seeking to remove tens of thousands of voters and challenge state processes. Simultaneously, the DOJ is pursuing indictments of Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook, Rep. Ilhan Omar's Washington residence was raided by the FBI, and Virginia state Sen. Louise Lucas was charged, while a third attempt to indict former FBI Director James Comey is underway.

Officials stress that any federal takeover would depend on proving a statutory violation and obtaining a restraining order or injunction from a judge. The plan also contemplates scenarios such as foreign cyber-attacks or claims of non-citizen voting, which could prompt the department to request a delay in certifying election results. Legal experts caution that no existing law grants the president or attorney general unilateral power to suspend elections.
