(Reuters) - Dozens of former Republican officials, who view the party as unwilling to stand up to former President Donald Trump and his attempts to undermine U.S. democracy, are in talks to form a center-right breakaway party, four people involved in the discussions told Reuters.

 

 

 

Evan McMullin, who was chief policy director for the House Republican Conference and ran as an independent in the 2016 presidential election, told Reuters that he co-hosted the Zoom call with former officials concerned about Trump’s grip on Republicans and the nativist turn the party has taken.

 

Three other people confirmed to Reuters the call and the discussions for a potential splinter party, but asked not to be identified.

 

Among the call participants were John Mitnick, general counsel for the Department of Homeland Security under Trump; former Republican congressman Charlie Dent; Elizabeth Neumann, deputy chief of staff in the Homeland Security Department under Trump; and Miles Taylor, another former Trump homeland security official.

 

The talks highlight the wide intraparty rift over Trump’s false claims of election fraud and the deadly Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol. Most Republicans remain fiercely loyal to the former president, but others seek a new direction for the party.

''Today, Dem Impeachment Trial Managers disgracefully cited the below hit piece against myself and 45, from a British Newspaper. I made the below statement back on January 15th, and stick by it 1000%. It was disgusting and sickening to see this lie be told on the floor of the United States Senate, by elected officials. Once again, citing a “journalist”, with anonymous (fake) sources. We all saw how that played out the last time around—yet sadly, they (Dems) continue their desperate charade, and they don’t care who they smear or falsely attack, throughout the “process”. A TOTAL DISGRACE!! —Dan''
