OANN host assisting Trump legal team contest 2020 election

A host at One America News Network has been quietly helping the Trump legal team’s efforts to contest the results of the 2020 election.

Christina Bobb, who headlines the Weekly Briefing show, has been seen at the Trump campaign’s headquarters and sources told the Daily Beast that she was assisting the legal team as a lawyer.

“Christina is an attorney and has helped with some legal work in her personal capacity and not on behalf of OAN,” Jenna Ellis, a senior legal adviser to Trump and his 2020 campaign, confirmed to the outlet on Monday.

Neither Bobb nor OANN’s network founder and president, Charles Herring, responded to requests for comment from the Washington Examiner.

When she interviewed Ellis on OANN over the weekend, Bobb did not disclose her work for the legal team.

Bobb’s work with the campaign was not previously known publicly, but her Twitter feed has been filled with claims about widespread voter fraud that benefited President-elect Joe Biden and that President Trump will have a second presidential term, which is in line with content that can be found on OANN.

OANN, along with Newsmax, have sought to distinguish themselves from other media outlets with the pro-Trump crowd by not calling the race for Biden as the president’s legal challenges and recounts wrap up.
