President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser to the White House has reportedly been behind the scenes in recent days trying to assemble a last-minute legal team in states like Nevada, Arizona, Michigan and Pennsylvania.
After Fox News called the crucial battlefield state of Arizona for former Vice President Joe Biden, the 39-year-old adviser phoned the Conservative network’s owner, Rupert Murdoch, the New York Times reported to discuss the surprise announcement.
The Trump team had hoped they would lead the tale, according to the newspaper on Tuesday, to secure an early victory in Arizona and the Sun Belt states and allow the president to deliver a ceremonial speech by the evening.
But Mr Biden had a strong performance early on in the Arizona vote count, spearheading networks calling the state for the former vice president, including Fox News where Arnon Mishkin, a paid advisor to the network, projected the win ahead of the Associated Press and several other outputs.
What followed was an apparent full court press by the Trump team to get Fox News to reverse the call. Several outlets described Mr. Kushner as “desperate” in his lobbying efforts, along with several other campaign officials who opposed the decision, both privately and in public.
The move was described as an “outlier” by the President’s political advisor, Jason Miller, who reportedly called Fox News about the Arizona call and also tweeted, “We pushed our people to vote on election day, but now Fox News is trying to invalidate it. ”their votes! ”

Mr Mishkin aired later that night, defending the network’s decision to phone the state that preceded projections from AP and a variety of other outlets that said Mr. Biden Arizona won against Mr. Trump.
“I think we heard from the White House that … they only need to get 61% of the pending votes, and there are 870,000 pending votes, and that’s what they’re going to get,” he said in an interview that aired on Fox News added added: “That is not true.”
Mr. Kushner was then forced to put together a collective of legal personalities who could counter the current vote count in states where the president apparently lost ground as the mail-in votes were still being processed.
The New York Times Mr. Kushner was looking for someone he described as a “James Baker-like” figure – with reference to former President George W. Bush’s 2000 election recount – to oversee Mr. Trump’s court battles.
Instead, through Wednesday, it appeared that the President’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani would serve as the face of the effort alongside Mr Trump’s children. The former New York mayor held a controversial press conference swearing a wave of lawsuits against the electoral process.
