Did Trump’s advisors ask him to declare martial law if the democrats win the midterms

What we can confirm

Recent reporting indicates that some outside Trump allies, including attorney Peter Ticktin, urged or contemplated martial law if Democrats won control of Congress. The reporting distinguishes these outside allies from official White House or Cabinet advisers, and there is no evidence that Trump adopted the proposal. Therefore, the claim is substantially supported if “advisors” includes outside advisers, but is imprecise if it refers to official presidential advisers.
