Wow: National Security Council declines to say anything about what National Security Presidential Memo 21 — one of the powers referenced in Trump’s unsigned executive order — authorizes
Epshteyn: Everything that was done was done… under the leadership of Rudy Giuliani

1/ MORE: The draft executive order cites two classified documents: National Security Presidential Memoranda 13 and 21. The existence of NSPM 21 had not been previously reported. Source familiar says both speak to the WH involvement in cyber attacks… Read the never-issued Trump order that would have seized voting machinesThe Jan. 6 select panel has obtained the draft order and a document titled “Remarks on National Healing.” Both are reported here in detail for the first time.politico.com
@pvdork @Delavegalaw Among the available ‘talent’ at that point, legal drafting tasks may have fallen to Eastman or Giuliani; I doubt WHC would have been involved. The central role proposed for SecDef makes me think Kash Patel may have been involved.
