"To be honest with you, we've had conversations with the former attorney general [William Barr] already. We have talked to Department of Defense individuals. We are concerned that our military was part of this big lie on promoting that the election was false," Thompson said. "So, if you are using the military to potentially seize voting machines, even though it's a discussion, the public needs to know, we've never had that before."

"Representative Michael McCaul, a Texas Republican, responded on Sunday to the proposed plan shared within former President Donald Trump's White House to seize voting machines in the wake of the 2020 presidential election.
The House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021 attack against the U.S. Capitol this week received hundreds of pages of Trump administration documents after the Supreme Court allowed for their release, despite the former president's lawyers arguing that they were protected by executive privilege. Politico on Friday published a draft of a never-issued executive order from Trump that called for the secretary of defense to seize voting machines, citing misinformation that the 2020 election results were compromised.
During a Sunday interview with CBS News' Face the Nation, McCaul was asked about the proposed plan to seize the voting machines.
"It was a dark day, Jan. 6, I want the truth to come out. I think this committee has been somewhat politicized. But the truth should come out, and I think the Department of Justice has been conducting an investigation. I worked at the DOJ for almost 15 years, and I trust their investigation," said the Republican, who has been endorsed for re-election by Trump. "I in fact called upon them to investigate this, so I'm hopeful that the truth will come out on this. The allegations are very serious."

McCaul noted that he didn't believe the executive order was ever signed. However, he again asserted that the truth "should come out."...
