On Friday, CNN reported that former President Donald Trump had a top aide ask his son-in-law Jared Kushner whether it would be possible to trademark the phrase "Rigged Election," just days after the presidential election was called for Joe Biden in 2020.
The information was revealed in emails provided by Kushner, an adviser in Trump's White House, and released as part of the final batches of transcripts from the House January 6 Select Committee.
"On November 9, 2020, then-Trump aide Dan Scavino emailed Kushner, Trumps son-in-law and senior adviser, with the request from Trump," reported Tierney Sneed, Katelyn Polantz, and Kate Sullivan. "'Hey Jared! POTUS wants to trademark/own rights to below, I dont know who to see or ask
I dont know who to take to,' the email from Scavino reads, according to a transcript of Kushners testimony to the committee, which was released by the panel on Friday. Two phrases were bolded in the email: 'Save America PAC!' and 'Rigged Election!'"
"Kushner forwarded the request and discussed it on an email chain that included Eric Trump, the Presidents son; Alex Cannon, a Trump campaign lawyer; Sean Dollman, the chief financial officer of Trumps 2020 campaign, and Justin Clark, a Trump campaign lawyer," said the report, noting that Kushner wrote "Guys - can we do ASAP please?"

What a pompous and delusional AH!
