Trump's daughter-in-law Lara tells Fox News there are 'no plans' for him to be reinstated as president in August
- Lara Trump pushed back on the theory that Trump could be reinstalled in the White House in August.
- "As far as I know, there are no plans for Donald Trump to be in the White House in August," she told Fox News.
- The baseless theory has been pushed by election fraud conspiracists Mike Lindell and Sidney Powell.
Lara Trump on Thursday pushed back on the baseless notion that her father-in-law, former President Donald Trump, could be reinstated in the White House in August.
"As far as I know, there are no plans for Donald Trump to be in the White House in August," she told "Fox & Friends" co-host Brian Kilmeade. "Maybe there's something I don't know, Brian, but no, I think that is a lot of folks getting a little worked up about something because maybe there wasn't enough pushback from the Republican side, so no, I have not heard any plans for Donald Trump to be installed in the White House in August."
She also appeared to blame mainstream media outlets for reporting that Trump believes he'll be reinstalled, saying, "I think you should take a look at who those networks are and who is pushing that out."
Lara, the wife of Trump's son Eric, became a Fox News contributor in March and is a rumored potential contender for the Republican nomination for a Senate seat in North Carolina.
This idea that Donald Trump will be back in the White House in the summer stemmed from MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell who has spent the last several months pushing false and preposterous claims of the 2020 election being rigged.
Lindell first claimed in an appearance on Steve Bannon's podcast in March that he would be presenting bombshell evidence to the Supreme Court of foreign countries and "communism coming in" and stealing the 2020 presidential election from Trump. This evidence, he claimed, would result in Trump being "reinstalled" in the White House in August.
Sidney Powell, a lawyer who's filed several failed election-related lawsuits and pushed outlandish conspiracy theories about hacked voting machines, again shared the baseless reinstatement theory at a conference of QAnon supporters in Dallas, Texas, over the weekend.
On Tuesday, The New York Times' Maggie Haberman reported that the theory has made its way to Trump, who has been telling allies that he now thinks he'll be reinstated in the White House in a couple months.
Aside from Lindell's lack of evidence of this massive fraud, which he's had months to produce, there is no constitutional mechanism for the Supreme Court to overturn an election because the president is elected state by state in the Electoral College, not by a national vote.
There is also no constitutional framework for a former president to be "reinstated" in the White House.
The only way for Biden to removed from office at this point would be through the impeachment process, and that wouldn't result in Trump being reinstalled either.
