President of "MyPillow" and a staunch supporter of President Trump, Mike Lindell, on January 15 (Friday), went to the White House to meet with Trump and passed a mysterious note to the President. He immediately tweeted that afternoon: Our President Trump will be re-elected for 4 years.
"Washington Post" photographer Jabin Botsford captured this note by shooting from a distance. But because this note was folded in half, many of the words were incomplete, but the title of the note read: "Take immediate action to save... the Constitution."
The note suggested that Kash Patel, chief of staff of the Acting Secretary of Defense, Christopher Miller, be appointed as the Acting Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Patel was an assistant to Devin Nunes, the former chairman of the US House Intelligence Committee. The current director of the CIA is Gina Haspel.
The note also read: "When necessary, when a certain first hint...initiates martial law" and other words, it mentions the names of Texas lawyers and President Trump supporter Powell (Sidney Powell).
A reporter from the New York Times said that President Trump’s national security adviser Robert O’Brien was also involved in the meeting. The reporter claimed that the note also called on President Trump to remove O'Brien and the White House legal counsel Pat Cipollone. Cipollone led the defense of President Trump's impeachment case last year.
Lindell posted the "Washington Observer" report on the news on his Twitter. The report said that Lindell met with President Trump in the Oval Room of the White House at 3.05 pm on January 15. The entire meeting lasted 10 minutes. The meeting was arranged by the White House on January 14, and President Trump’s external schedule did not mention the meeting.
Lindell said he was just a messenger. He said, "This note was not written by me, but by a lawyer. I am just a messenger. I just delivered this note to President Trump."
He also said that he had never contacted President Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, and that he had only met with President Trump once before the US election on November 3.
Lindell said that after meeting President Trump in the Oval Office, he went upstairs to exchange his views on fraud in the 2020 election with three other people. Among the people who met with him was a White House lawyer. Then he was told that he would not be able to see President Trump again because President Trump was holding a meeting and he thought he would see Trump again before leaving the White House.
Lindell said that currently more than 80 million Americans in the United States believe that Biden's victory in the 2020 election is the result of fraud. The lawyers stated that they are investigating and collecting evidence on this statement. Lindell also complained that many American officials dismissed this fact because of their political ideas.
Lindell then posted a video about President Trump’s predictions on his Facebook at 6:12 pm on January 15, and tweeted: “Keep your faith! We will let our President Trump stay in office. Four years!"

Lindell once said that President Trump has been urging him to participate in the 2022 governor election in Minnesota to ensure that Minnesota is controlled by Republicans.
"Elected" President Biden will be sworn in on January 20. President Trump has promised a smooth transfer of power, but he also said that he will not attend Biden's oath.
The White House has not yet commented on the news related to this note.
Updates 20/01/2021
On Tuesday (January 19), the day before the handover of the US president, Gina Haspel resigned from the post of Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). On the same day, the outgoing Secretary of State Pompeo seemed to thank her on Twitter.
In his resignation statement on Tuesday, Haspel said, "Leading this outstanding organization is the greatest honor of my life, and I am very proud of the work we have done together."
In May 2018, Haspel was appointed by Trump as the director of the CIA, and Trump personally attended his inauguration ceremony.
However, in this US general election, the CIA was accused of being unfavorable to Trump and was criticized by the conservative camp. During this period, there were rumors that "Haspel was arrested".
On January 15, Mike Lindell, a Trump ally and CEO of MyPillow, was found visiting the White House. The document in his hand contained a request to appoint an official from the Department of Defense to act as the CIA. Lindel said afterwards that this was a proposal to "replace Haspel" that a lawyer entrusted him to pass on to Trump.
However, another ally of Trump, the outgoing Secretary of State Pompeo, seems to have just expressed his gratitude to Haspel on Twitter.
Pompeo tweeted on Tuesday, "If the CIA director does not have a good team, nothing will be achieved. I have. We have done a lot of things. I said that we will take risks and achieve (goals). Both of us will Great professionalism did it-the bad guys never know what hit them."
He then said, "Thank you for those who I can name here and the countless others who are still crushing evil in the dark." In his list of thank you by name, the first one was "Gina H.", suspected of Haspel's initials.
