The White House hosted about two dozen Trump-aligned activists this week ahead of President Donald Trump\u2019s primetime address on the 2020 election. The session was convened by conservative lawyer Cleta Mitchell and attended by figures who have spent years promoting the conspiracy theories Trump has invoked in falsely claiming the race was \u201cstolen\u201d from him.<\/p>\n

At least some of the activists engaged in conversations around Thursday\u2019s planned announcement were told to sign nondisclosure agreements, according to a person familiar with the White House\u2019s arrangements and granted anonymity to speak candidly, and attendees of the Monday meeting were told the proceedings were confidential.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m allowed to say that I was at a briefing,\u201d Charles Faltenovich, the director of PA Fair Elections, later told members of his own group in a recording obtained by MS NOW. \u201cIt\u2019s basically sworn to secrecy what was said.\u201d<\/p>\n

He then described it. Faltenovich said the information provided \u201cwas basically all the media reporting that John Solomon and others have done already.\u201d Solomon, a conservative media figure who joined the White House in June as a special government employee, is driving the declassification push alongside Bill Pulte, the acting director of national intelligence, MS NOW has reported.<\/p>\n

Faltenovich suggested to his group, however, that \u201capparently\u201d there is \u201ca whole tranche of stuff, like tens of thousands of pages, maybe hundreds of thousands, that have been declassified, but have not been published.\u201d The briefing did not provide insight into any new information that could be inside that raw material.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe White House regularly holds calls with stakeholders and other interested parties on a variety of policy matters,\u201d a White House official told MS NOW.<\/p>\n

A source familiar with the meeting and its attendees said Catherine Engelbrecht, the co-founder of True the Vote, joined the same briefing. In a recording of a live podcast with supporters of her own organization, Engelbrecht then said the president\u2019s speech and document release would support their claims about the 2020 election.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve no doubt read [that] the president is going [to] make remarks to America about what his administration [inaudible] regarding the 2020 election. There are lots and lots and lots of people, lots of agencies, lots of interaction on this front,\u201d Engelbrecht said. \u201cI can only tell you what we have known to be true, and I\u2019ll start by saying this: The 2020 election was stolen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Engelbrecht\u2019s group was behind one of the most durable falsehoods to emerge from that election: that paid operatives stuffed drop boxes with fraudulent ballots. Subpoenaed by Georgia\u2019s State Election Board for records substantiating the alleged ballot-gathering scheme, True the Vote\u2019s attorneys, at the time, responded that it had \u201cno such documents in its possession, custody, or control.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mitchell, who advised Trump\u2019s effort to overturn the 2020 result, runs the Election Integrity Network, an umbrella group for state-level election activists. PA Fair Elections is its Pennsylvania chapter; the chapter\u2019s previous leader, Heather Honey, is now the Homeland Security Department\u2019s deputy assistant secretary for election integrity.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Election Integrity Network has served as the connective tissue linking the failed 2020 election deniers directly to the White House \u2014 and it is now being used to turn their debunked claims into government action,\u201d Lauren Groh-Wargo, CEO of Fair Fight Action, a Georgia-based nonprofit that advocates for voting rights, told MS NOW in a statement. \u201cThese are the same people who tried to overturn Trump\u2019s 2020 loss, and tonight the same lies are the pretext for a rumored document dump and a potential national emergency executive order forcing new election rules on states.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tina Peters, the former Colorado county clerk convicted in a scheme to tamper with voting equipment after the 2020 election, is expected in Washington around Thursday\u2019s announcement, according to a person familiar with the rollout of the speech and document release. Trump welcomed her to the White House in June, weeks after Democratic Gov. Jared Polis commuted her nine-year prison sentence.<\/p>\n

What Trump will actually say remains unclear \u2014 including to the people he invited.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to come out on Thursday, but I expect it to actually be some results in some things that we\u2019ve all been hoping for,\u201d Faltenovich said. \u201cWhat the plan is to do about the midterms \u2014 I don\u2019t know. I\u2019m really curious to find that out. But we shall see.\u201d<\/p>\n

Engelbrecht and Faltenovich did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n
