Eric Trump is threatening to take legal action against ‘The Palmer Report’ after the outlet tweeted that he used burner phones to communicate with organizers of the Jan. 6 rally in the days leading up to the deadly attack at the Capitol.
Rolling Stone reported on Wednesday that several of the people who organized the “Stop the Steal” rally that preceded the attack on the Capitol used burner phones to communicate with some members of Donald Trump’s team prior to Jan. 6.
Kylie Kremer, an official in the “March for Trump” group reportedly instructed an aide to get three burner phones before the rally and used one of the phones to contact Eric Trump, Lara Trump, and former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.
In a tweet on Wednesday, Palmer Report wrote that Eric and Lara Trump “reportedly used burner phones to communicate with January 6th organizers meaning didn’t want the planning to be traced back to them, something you do in a criminal plot. 1/6 committee will certainly subpoena them under threat of criminal indictment.”
Eric Trump responded to that tweet saying: “Well here is one outlet I can sue for defamation. This will be fun. I’m an incredibly honest clean guy — unlike Hunter, no drugs, healthy lifestyle, not the ‘burner phone type.”
