Journalist Carl Bernstein said Sunday that President Trump has discussed ways to challenge the results of the midterm elections if the GOP's grasp on power slips.
During an appearance on CNN, Bernstein said his sources relayed this information to him on Friday, warning that Trump has talked about a disruption campaign if the results are close but have the Democrats taking control of the House or Senate.
"I talked to people ... in touch with the White House on Friday who believe that, if the congressional midterms are very close and the Democrats were to win by five or seven seats, that Trump is already talking about how to throw legal challenges into the courts, sow confusion, declare a victory actually, and say that the election's been illegitimate," Bernstein said after being asked if Trump's challenge to fraudulent voters was a form of voter suppression.
"That is really under discussion in the White House," he added.

Carl has gone mental IMHO.
I talk to people too,and they all think Bernstein’s an ass....
These people must be on drugs or something to find sources that seem clairvoyant. They know they are going to lose and their power and the sealed indictments are going to hit after the election. Any disinformation they dream up seems good to them.
Must be someone at the FBI again. He hasn’t figured out the top guys at the FBI are liars.
I think even in his present condition, Leonard Bernstein would be a better source of news than Uncle Carl.
I say it’s projection again. S.O.P. for the Democraps. Just like they tried to get DJT to say he would accept Hillary’s win, go away, and shut up. NO!
This is projection. They are saying they, the Democrats aren’t going to accept DJT, and the Republicans beating their asses again.
>>Hey! Curly! The Democrats called the 2016 election illegitimate because they lost. But that was OK, right?<<
They are STILL calling it illegitimate 2 years later!
Remember that the Dems said that Trump was going to call the 2016 election illegitimate and then immediately after the election the Dems themselves called it illegitimate claiming that Trump had done the very thing that the Dems themselves had done, ie conspire with the Russians. Since Bernstein says that Trump is going to challenge the election based on fraud, I think he must know that the Dems have in fact committed fraud.
I think Ol’ Carl is off his meds.
Carl Bernstein still alive?
Notice the Dems already said Trump was not the President due to popular vote including California.
And Trump was helped by a huge conspiracy of Russians everywhere in the country changing the results.
And Bush was not the President for any of his 8 full years because the chad ballots in FL weren’t counted right and a court ruling appointed him over Gore.
“Hey! Curly! The Democrats called the 2016 election illegitimate because they lost. But that was OK, right?”
Nuts. I was going to say that. Worth repeating.
They said the same thing about the 2000 election.
"And another thing, there are too many choices for jello at the Assisted Living. Please limit them to two."
"And no more of that spicy green jello! I was in the bathroom a week!"
I don’t follow CB at all but the last couple of times I’ve chanced to see him on tv, he seems seriously around the bend. Not trying to be snarky here; I do think he’s gone soft in the head. If he weren’t a left-wing sock puppet with some residual name ID, the media would not have him on.
And theyre laying the groundwork to call the Supreme Court illegitimate. All that is ok and isnt scary to Bernstein
What a douche.
Fake news. Stick a fork in it. This story stinks.
Except for his brain.
This is a standing headline. Every two years. It doesnt matter who is in charge.
Its always been ridiculous. Its ridiculous now.
Sure just like the 2016 election. PROJECTION!
