President Trump has admitted that he wishes he hadn’t dismissed a radical proposal to seize voting machines by executive order in 2020.
In a recent wide-ranging interview with the New York Times, Trump said that he regrets not seizing state voting machines to seek evidence of vote-rigging after the election.

LifeSiteNews reports: In 2022, Politico published the text of a draft executive order Trump considered but never issued, which would have authorized the U.S. Secretary of Defense to “seize, collect, retain and analyze all machines, equipment, electronically stored information, and material records required for retention under United States Code Title 42, Sections 1974-197,” a law concerning the preservation of election records; and appointed a Special Counsel to “oversee this operation and institute all criminal and civil proceedings as appropriate based on the evidence collected.”
One year later, ABC News obtained video clips of former Trump personnel interviews with investigators from Fulton County, Georgia, who had been investigating the president’s efforts to contest the election outcome. Among them was election lawyer Sidney Powell, who recounted Trump’s aborted intentions to appoint her special counsel, which would have given her much broader investigative powers.
“I guess he assumed, and I would have thought, that I would have looked at putting into effect a provision of 13848 that would have allowed the machines to be secured in four or five states or cities,” Powell testified at the time (her testimony describes the aforementioned draft order, but erroneously calls it by the number of a different order).
