Last summer, a small group of Trump appointees began convening at DHS headquarters. The group — which once called itself “Team America” — looked for levers it could pull to help Trump exert greater federal control over voting.

Analysis Summary
ProPublica reports that Trump has replaced nearly all federal officials who resisted his 2020 election reversal efforts with roughly two dozen new appointees positioned to influence voting, including ten who previously worked to overturn the election. The article bases this on investigation into staffing turnover at Justice and Homeland Security departments since 2021. The tweet references a 'Team America' group at DHS seeking voting control — while the article discusses broader staffing shifts and election-related efforts, the specific 'Team America' framing and its stated objective are not explicitly detailed in the provided text, making that particular characterization unverifiable from the article alone.
Claims Analysis (5)
“Last summer, a small group of Trump appointees began convening at DHS headquarters looking for levers to help Trump exert greater federal control over voting”
Article discusses broader staffing changes and election-related efforts but does not explicitly confirm this specific 'Team America' group convening at DHS with voting control as stated objective.
“A group of Trump appointees called itself 'Team America' and looked for ways to help Trump exert greater federal control over voting”
The 'Team America' name and explicit voting control objective are not substantiated in the provided article text. Article focuses on 2020 retrospective and staffing changes.
“Nearly all of the roughly 75 federal officials who worked to safeguard the 2020 election results have since resigned, been fired, or been reassigned”
Article states 'nearly all of those people are gone, having resigned, been fired or been reassigned, particularly in the departments of Justice and Homeland Security.' Specific claim about 75 people is sourced to ProPublica's reporting.
“Trump has installed roughly two dozen people in positions that could affect elections”
Article confirms 'roughly two dozen people Trump has installed in positions that could affect elections.' Ten actively worked to reverse 2020 results; remainder are associates.
“Ten of Trump's new appointees in election-related positions actively worked to reverse the 2020 vote”
Article explicitly states 'Ten of them actively worked to reverse the 2020 vote.' This is a core factual claim from ProPublica's investigation.
