JAKARTA - JAKARTA - President of the United States Donald Trump has received financial reinforcements from his allies. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, a close ally of Donald Trump, pledged to donate $ 500,000 to fund Trump's campaign lawsuits.

In recent days, Trump has indeed been fond of rampaging and throwing hot issues. Trump has accused the US election of fraud, so the counting of votes must be stopped immediately. Trump admits that he has a lot of evidence and is ready to bring this matter to court.

Trump's remarks were thrown amid the superiority of his opponent, Democratic candidate Joe Biden. Biden has indeed left Trump a long way, both from the popular vote and the electoral vote.

Like a tit for tat, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham supported Trump's move. Not just support, but a real step by donating money to Trump's timses.

"I'm here tonight to stand with President Trump - he supports me, he's the reason we will have a Senate majority," Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said as quoted by the BBC, Friday, November 6.

Money donated to Trump's legal team will come from Graham's own campaign funds.

Democratic rival Joe Biden is also bracing for battle in court. Biden's campaign manager, Jen O'Malley Dillon, has started a fundraising effort, sending emails to supporters.

"We support the largest and most comprehensive legal remedy ever compiled," he wrote.

"I have come to you to ask you to funnel $ 25 into the newly formed Biden Fight Fund."

Biden's partner, Kamala Harris, previously tweeted asking supporters to donate $ 5 to help pay for litigation that could "last for weeks".

Hurt for Trump

Secretary of Defense of the United States (US) Mark Esper is reported to have prepared a letter of resignation. Esper's plan isn't a secret at the Pentagon. According to three defense officials the Esper wanted to stay on the job as long as he could. But his relationship with Trump deteriorated until Esper realized it was impossible.

It is not unusual for a cabinet official to prepare a resignation letter that is not dated during the presidential transition. This will provide the commander-in-chief with the opportunity to replace him in his second term.

However, it is the president who decides whether to accept the resignation letter or not. In addition, usually the resignation process occurs after the election result is clear.

Quoting NBC News, Friday, November 6, the defense official also said Esper prepared his letter because he was one of the officials long expected to be fired after the US election. As his term in office may end soon, Esper is helping members of Congress draft a bill that will remove the names of Confederate leaders from military bases.
