Trump’s executive office sent an email to White House staff Tuesday night detailing the departure process ahead of Biden’s inauguration next month.
On Wednesday morning, a new email landed in staffers’ inboxes — this one telling them to ignore the previous message.
“Please disregard the below message,” reads the email, a copy of which was obtained by The Washington Post. “Updated information will be shared in the coming days.”
The original email said staff members would begin leaving the White House on Jan. 5 and would receive their last paychecks in February. It also went over such details as returning stationery and office supplies and cleaning White House equipment, such as microwaves.
The mundane, bureaucratic email was circulated to every White House employee, according to two officials who spoke anonymously because they were not authorized to discuss the message.
The conflicting messages are the latest evidence of the dichotomy of many parts of his government seeking to facilitate a transition, while the president is stridently against one and falsely claims that he might have a second term.
Trump refuses to concede the election to Biden and continues to make baseless claims of widespread voter fraud. He has also been frustrated with his inner circle — including Vice President Pence, White House Counsel Pat Cipollone and Chief of Staff Mark Meadows — saying that the officials around him are working to stymie his final hopes of overturning the election results, according to a White House official.
Attorney General William P. Barr said earlier this month that he has “not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election,” undercutting the claims that Trump and his allies have made — without evidence — of significant voting irregularities.
