An aide for former President Donald Trump reached out to Trumps son-in-law and White House senior adviser Jared Kushner about trademarking the phrases Rigged Election! and Save America PAC! exclamation marks apparently included after Trump lost the 2020 election, according to emails Kushner provided to members of the House Jan. 6 committee.

Dan Scavino , Trumps aide at the time, emailed Kushner about the matter on Nov. 9, 2020 long before any major problems with the presidential election could have been uncovered. Indeed, ultimately, there was no evidence found of widespread election irregularities.

Hey Jared! POTUS wants to trademark/own rights to below, I dont know who to see or ask ... I dont know who to take to, said the email from Scavino, according to a transcript of Kushners testimony to the committee , which was released on Friday. The phrases were added in bold to Scavinos email.

Kushner forwarded the request and discussed it on an email chain with the presidents son Eric Trump , Trump campaign lawyers Alex Cannon and Justin Clark, and Sean Dollman, the chief financial officer of Trumps 2020 campaign.

Guys can we do ASAP please? Kushner wrote.

Both web URLs [for the phrases] are already registered. Save America PAC was registered October 23 of this year. Was that done by the campaign? Eric Trump responded.

Dollman explained: Save America PAC is already taken/registered, just confirming that. But we can still file for Save America.

Kushners response in the transcript: Go.

The email request was issued before the Save America PAC was created, so the efforts in that case were apparently successful.
