Another odd claim in the book details how Trump instructed his top intelligence official to probe a conspiracy theory that Nest thermostats, which are made in China, were used to change 2020 ballots by tapping into voting machines.

Karl said on This Week that Trump was ‘intrigued’ by the theory…

‘[Clark] believed that wireless thermostats made in China for Google by a company called Nest Labs might have been used to manipulate voting machines in Georgia,’ Karl wrote in his book.

He added: ‘The idea was nuts, but it intrigued Trump, who asked Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe to look into it.’
