Secretary of State Mike Pompeo – a Trump loyalist who served through out the former president's first term – told a colleague 'crazies' had taken over as Donald Trump pursued election fraud claims in his final weeks in office.
'The crazies have taken over,' Pompeo warned a colleague amid fears that foreign adversaries he spent his time contending with as the nation's top diplomat might exploit the volatile situation.
Pompeo also shared concerns that Trump might even be willing to take part in an international conflict as part of a ploy to remain in office, according to the new book Frankly, We Did Win This Election: The Inside Story of How Trump Lost,' by Wall Street Journal reporter Michael Bender.

The reported comments came during Trump's tense final weeks in office, while Trump and his allies were putting forward repeated claims of election fraud, while allies including Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, attorney Sidney Powell, and lawyer Lin Wood were filing 'Kraken' lawsuits asking courts to cast aside votes for Joe Biden.
