EXCLUSIVE: President Trump’s legal team, which has been working to change the result of the election, just added a new member: OAN host Christina Bobb trib.al/Yrqiqto
Yes, that OAN.

This appointment to Rudy Giuliani’s legal squad comes after the group recently distanced itself from Sidney Powell. The team is working out of a conference room at the downsized HQ in Arlington, VA. trib.al/gTDEDqb
The OAN “Weekly Briefing” chair’s presence has caused some confusion among the actual campaign staff as she continues her job as a pro-Trump TV host trib.al/gTDEDqb
“Christina is an attorney and has helped with some legal work in her personal capacity and not on behalf of OAN,” Jenna Ellis, a senior legal adviser to Trump and his 2020 campaign, told The Daily Beast on Monday afternoon trib.al/gTDEDqb
Bobb’s Twitter feed is clogged with baseless claims of fraud and grand proclamations about Trump’s chances of overturning the election results and securing a second presidential term trib.al/gTDEDqb

NEW: Trump’s attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election has created a fissure within his own ranks, as top campaign officials and allied donors seek distance from a legal effort that they increasingly view as a pointless laughingstock. trib.al/atpu1fd
Staff in campaign leadership roles have disappeared from public view. Others, including Bill Stepien, have had limited involvement in the legal campaign to challenge vote results, and have privately said they want nothing to do with it trib.al/atpu1fd
Trump and GOP mega-donor Shalabh “Shalli” Kumar is pulling out of the fight to overturn the results.

“The president is entitled to whatever legal defense he wants to have... but I am not going to contribute any funds to that." trib.al/atpu1fd

Ivanka Trump’s childhood best friend, Lysandra Ohrstrom, tore her apart in a scathing Vanity Fair article, but the so-called “class traitor” isn’t finished yet

.@LysandraO joins @NewAbnormalPod and spills @MollyJongFast all the crude and offensive things Ivanka and her dad would say or do when they were growing up
trib.al/AYAXVyy Image
“Ly,” as Ivanka calls her remembers Donald Trump calling out Lysandra’s looks and nicknaming Ivanka’s young friends after models like Cindy Crawford, behavior that she found “shocking as a kid”

NEW from @lachlan and @willsommer:

Conservative ops and a super PAC w/ ties to Roger Stone are calling for Trump supporters to punish the GOP for the crucial Georgia Senate run-offs by writing in Trump’s name
trib.al/qpbgpc2
The trajectory of the burgeoning movement has Republicans fearful that they could lose control of the Senate
trib.al/qpbgpc2
The goal, those operatives say, is to expose a supposed vast election-fraud conspiracy abetted by high-level Republicans in Georgia’s state government, including Gov. Brian Kemp and secretary of state Brad Raffensperger

Governors like Wyoming’s Mark Gordon and South Dakota’s Kristi Noem are inexplicably avoiding a mandate that the data shows could save lives trib.al/Mu6NENp
The researchers looked at Kansas while it was in the throes of a surge this summer. Gov. Laura Kelly implemented a statewide mask requirement, but counties were allowed to opt-out of it trib.al/Mu6NENp
The data showed that counties that had a mask mandate but did not have other restrictions still saw cases drop—signaling that the mask order was making a difference.'' trib.al/Mu6NENp

NEW: In this bonus episode of the @NewAbnormalPod, The Daily Beast's @JFKucinich and @swin24 join @TheRickWilson and @MollyJongFast to chat about a possible Trump prosecution–and Rudy Giuliani reaching the "peak of batshit mountain.” trib.al/wen6XFZ
Team Biden has made his incoming style of presidency very clear: Keep the peace. Or in his aides' words, "move the country forward."

BUT. And this is a big BUT: Biden's Attorney General still could go after Trump. trib.al/wen6XFZ
"It will be interesting to see how that particular pick moves forward," says @swin24 trib.al/wen6XFZ

.@amyklobuchar is over Trump’s “7 stages of grief.”

She joined @newabnormalpod w/ @therickwilson & @mollyjongfast to discuss this sad stalling of the Biden transition and his desperate quest to destroy democracy

APPLE: trib.al/RqahvFm
SPOTIFY: trib.al/pMJtIdm
To put it plainly, President Trump is losing it.

“There's been so much sexist talk about women [in politics] being too emotional and being too sensitive. And then we have an entire party held hostage by the president's moods,” says @mollyjongfast.

trib.al/WlFBDpS
.@amyklobuchar agrees: “Exactly. I think it was John Bolton that said that we just don't have time to live through seven stages of the president's grief. That is exactly what's happening.” trib.al/WlFBDpS
