New reporting here from @jonkarl on the last major blowup between Trump and Barr. Jon is smart to focus on this meeting—I found during the course of reporting for my book that it was one of the seminal moments of Trump's final weeks in office. https://t.co/jbk3X5mEh5 — PolitiTweet.org

Trump is disputing this reporting, claiming I never asked him about the shouting match with Milley. But I have the written questions I submitted to him—at his request @realLizUSA More here from @jonathanvswan: https://t.co/syGFpN7RNS — PolitiTweet.org

Trump wanted Milley in charge of protests last summer, but the nation’s top general was a military adviser—not in command of troops. The argument erupted in a shouting match. “You can't fucking talk to me like that!" @axios has the latest from my book: https://t.co/F0QIBfyFKi https://t.co/IWsAUP21qA — PolitiTweet.org

@NicholasTrainer @darkenrahl86 The projections come from internal campaign documents. The details about conversations with Trump come from multiple sources — including inside the campaign. I don't know what was said in your meetings. — PolitiTweet.org

@NicholasTrainer @darkenrahl86 No, Nick, I'm not. Trump had more than 30 rallies in the final 10 days of the race. This was the only in Georgia. — PolitiTweet.org

By then the campaign’s data team—which Stepien had scrambled to build in final months of the race—was bullish on GA. They told Trump he’d win it by 4%. “I shouldn’t even be here,” Trump said at the start of that Nov. 1 rally. “They say I have Georgia made.” He lost by 0.25% — PolitiTweet.org

The late decision meant Perdue had to choose: show up at the Trump rally, or his last debate with Jon Ossoff. It wasn’t much of a choice—Perdue needed Trump supporters to win. But it did mean enduring a very tough news cycle when he bailed on the debate. — PolitiTweet.org

Perdue spent a year telling Trump that Georgia was a tougher place to win in 2020, but he wouldn’t listen. When early turnout in MTG’s NW GA district appeared dangerously low, Purdue made a final appeal. Trump overruled his campaign team on 10/29, just 4 days before the election. — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: Trump planned to skip Georgia in the final stretch of 2020 race because he’d won it fairly comfortably in 2016—and Jared & Stepien told him he’d win again by nearly the same margin. David Perdue had to intervene. Latest book scoop in today’s WSJ: https://t.co/NF5eXYWXGb https://t.co/bsgDBt7cNx — PolitiTweet.org

Milley’s outburst suggested to others in the room that he thought Miller was out of his lane. And inside the Oval Office, America’s top general protected his turf as vigorously as anyone in the Trump administration. Order the book now for other examples: https://t.co/MWjyA6ou0V — PolitiTweet.org

Milley’s problem was that he had stats showing exactly how many cities had protests—and the proportion of those municipal populations that were protesting. For Milley, the numbers didn’t approach anywhere near a level that required military intervention—and he told Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

When Stephen Miller told Trump inside the Oval that “cities are burning” during Floyd protests, an infuriated Milley spun around in his seat and pointed a finger directly at Miller. “Shut the fuck up, Stephen,” Milley snapped. https://t.co/MWjyA6ou0V https://t.co/p0drLVFR6d https://t.co/1MGNm4QYOp — PolitiTweet.org
