Federal Election Officials Attend Summit Urging Trump Emergency Powers
Several senior federal election officials attended a summit last week where activists who worked to overturn the 2020 election urged President Donald Trump to declare a national emergency over upcoming midterms.
According to ProPublica, the gathering included prominent election denial figures who have continued pushing claims about the 2020 vote and are now advocating expanded federal intervention in elections.
The report states that discussions at the summit included proposals for the president to use emergency powers to assume control over aspects of federal elections. It is not clear whether the attending officials endorsed those proposals or were present in an observational capacity.

The revelation has raised questions about boundaries between federal election administration and partisan political movements.
ProPublica reported that the summit reflects ongoing efforts among election denial activists to influence future election oversight.
No federal action has been announced following the meeting.
