Utah Sen. Mike Lee, who stood against former President 's election fraud claims on Jan. 6th, is revealed in text messages to the White House to have vouched for 'Kraken' lawyer Sidney Powell just weeks earlier. The texts – which the Republican senator sent to former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows as Trump's effort to overturn the election was underway – provide a much broader view of Lee, a conservative who split with his friend Sen. of Texas, who rallied the effort to refuse to accept votes for certified by states where Trump claimed fraud.They reveal that Lee, whose conservative legal chops include clerking for Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, touted Powell to Meadows just days after the election when she was just starting to forward her ultimately doomed legal theories.
