Stephen Glass made an entire career on such sources.
In this case, it could be true, or it could easily be another fabrication.

Possible, but we saw Trump's star making power fail before while he was president. eg in 2017 Trump (and McConnell) backed the incumbent Luther Strange for the 2017 special Senate election in Alabama and Roy Moore still ended up winning; by a lot.
Then when Trump backed Roy Moore in 2018 for the Senate election, Moore lost to Dough Jones, a Democrat.
"Just say the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me."
Donald Trump pressed top Justice Department officials late last year to declare that the election was corrupt even though they had found no instances of widespread fraud, so that he and his allies in Congress could use the assertion to try to overturn the results, according to new documents provided to lawmakers.
Trump did not name the lawmakers, but at other points during the call, he mentioned Representative Jim Jordan, whom he described as a "fighter," Representative Scott Perry who promoted the idea that the election was stolen, and Senator Ron Johnson whom Trump praised for "getting to bottom of things."
The notes connect Trump's allies in Congress with his campaign to pressure Justice Department officials to help undermine, or even nullify, the election results.
"Trump Shifted Donor Money Into His Business After Leaving The White House"
"Trump calls on federal judge to block release of his tax returns to Congress"
'Justice official accused Trump of using DOJ to push election fraud claims in draft resignation letter"
So what the sensible people have been talking about from months to years.
The tax one, that's going to be tricky for Trump. Al Capone was a decades long criminal who greased by the legal system over and over, until they got him on his tax evasions.
GOP Lawyers Sanctioned Over Frivolous Election Lawsuit
A federal judge in Colorado has sanctioned two lawyers who filed a lawsuit challenging the 2020 election late last year, finding that the case was "frivolous," "not warranted by existing law," and filed "in bad faith."
In a scathing 68-page opinion, Magistrate Judge N. Reid Neureiter found that the lawyers made little effort to corroborate information they had included in the suit, which argued there had been a vast national conspiracy to steal the election from Donald Trump.
The lawyers in question—Gary D. Fielder and Ernest John Walker—alleged a bizarre plot in their lawsuit, involving election officials, Facebook, and Dominion Voting Systems, among others.
Not surprisingly, the case was dismissed months ago, but yesterday's developments focused on a necessary second step: Neureiter ordered the conspiracy-embracing lawyers to pay their many defendants' legal fees.
"In short, this was no slip-and-fall at the local grocery store," Neureiter wrote. "Albeit disorganized and fantastical, the Complaint's allegations are extraordinarily serious and, if accepted as true by large numbers of people, are the stuff of which violent insurrections are made."
Fielder and Walker are not the only lawyers facing sanctions over ridiculous cases related to the 2020 presidential election.
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer's administration and the city of Detroit are currently seeking penalties against nine attorneys—a group that includes Trump allies Sidney Powell and L. Lin Wood—who filed anti-election case in December that was also filed "for an improper purpose."
The complaint against the pro-Trump attorneys added that their case "was never about winning on the merits of the claims, but rather, plaintiffs' purpose was to undermine the integrity of the election results and the people's trust in the electoral process and in government. The filing of litigation for that purpose is clearly an abuse of the judicial process and warrants the imposition of sanctions."
U.S. District Judge Linda Parker did not seem especially impressed with those responsible for filing bogus anti-election cases during a recent hearing.
