Two of President Donald Trump’s top lawyers — former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani and Sydney Powell — are teasing an upcoming bombshell that will make history.
“I’m going to release the Kraken,” Powell said on Friday.
In the two weeks following the election, supporters of the president have been promised a lot. Many have expressed frustration that they haven’t seen the results they’ve been repeatedly promised by the Trump legal team.
On Sunday, Giuliani and Powell both got specific and said they have undeniable proof of widespread election fraud. Lawyer Lin Wood said the evidence would be released this week.
The unofficial results of the election would be overturned, Giuliani promised Sunday on Fox News.

Time is quickly running out for Giulanni and Powell’s team.
Over the weekend, Trump’s campaign withdrew a central part of its lawsuit seeking to stop the certification of the election results in Pennsylvania — a must-win state if the president is to get a second term.
Ahead of a Tuesday hearing in the case, Trump’s campaign dropped the allegation that hundreds of thousands of mail-in and absentee ballots were illegally processed without its representatives watching.
The campaign’s slimmed-down lawsuit, filed in federal court on Sunday, maintains the aim of blocking Pennsylvania from certifying a victory for Biden in the state, and it maintains its claim that Democratic voters were treated more favorably than Republican voters.
Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh insisted the campaign still contends that hundreds of thousands of ballots weren’t properly processed.
“Our lawsuit in Pennsylvania absolutely still makes an issue of the 682,479 mail-in and absentee ballots that were counted in secret,” he tweeted.
Despite Trump’s legal team claiming to have undeniable proof they would soon reveal, Murtaugh did not explain why the campaign dropped the request in the lawsuit asking the judge to throw out those votes.
The lawsuit charges that “Democratic-heavy counties” violated the law by identifying mail-in ballots before Election Day that had defects — such as lacking an inner “secrecy envelope” or lacking a voter’s signature on the outside envelope — so that the voter could fix it and ensure that the vote would count, called “curing.”
Republican-heavy counties “followed the law and did not provide a notice and cure process, disenfranchising many,” the lawsuit said.
It’s unclear how many voters were given the chance to fix their ballot, but it’s almost certainly fewer than the margin — almost 70,000 — that separates Biden and Trump in the official count.
Pennsylvania’s top election official, Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar, a Democrat, responded in court on Sunday, asking the judge to dismiss the case. State courts are the proper jurisdiction for the subject, and the lawsuit contains no “plausible claim for relief on any legal theory,” the state’s lawyers wrote.
If Giulani and Powell have undeniable proof that the election counts are wrong, they need to come through with the information.
Quickly.
Or it’s going to be too late.
