...Key findings:
Figures most frequently claiming to have the ear of Trump and his staff: Ten people made nearly half of the 123 total claims: Tina Peters (10), Wayne Allyn Root (7), Glenn Beck (6), Sean Hannity (5), Buck Sexton (5), Clay Travis (5), Trey Yingst (5), Bill O’Reilly (5), Peter Ticktin (5), and Jack Posobiec (5).
Election denial activists’ claims to be in touch with the White House increased as midterms approached: Twelve election denial figures account for 30% (or 37) of the total claims. In June they had just 2 claims and none in May, but the claims jumped to 16 in July and have remained significant since.
These interactions could be influencing policy: Nearly two-thirds of the claims about these interactions (80 out of 123) mentioned influential policy discussions, including relations with China, the Iran war, and election integrity efforts.
