During the frantic period between the 2020 election and the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol, a young White House aide named Garrett Ziegler served as a conduit of information from a network of teams led by lawyers Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell to President Trump, as the operatives generated unfounded and specious claims in an attempt to delegitimize the 2020 presidential election.
Ziegler has spoken openly about using his pass to let attorney Sidney Powell and former national security adviser Michael Flynn into the White House for a Dec. 18, 2020, meeting with Trump and contributing to a report authored by his boss, trade adviser Peter Navarro, that was used to undermine confidence in the election. But Raw Story has confirmed that Ziegler played a much more significant role than has been previously understood. Working directly with a team that reported to Rudy Giuliani, Trump's personal lawyer, Ziegler helped create a seamless information chain that was mobilized in the effort to overturn the election.
