His multi-step accusation includes alleged manipulation of the EC appointment panel, addition of fake voters, inflation of voter turnout, targeted bogus voting, and subsequent evidence hiding.

What was once seen as a powerful alliance has fractured dramatically, generating significant buzz and concern among political observers.

He even took on an advisory role within the Trump administration, leading the "Department of Government Efficiency."
