Verbifying Effort

CNN reporitng on a Barr article in the Atlantic (https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/27/politics/william-barr-trump-election-claims-break/index.html):

"For his part, Barr took aim at the legal strategy Trump was efforting at the time with the help his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, telling the president that any election-related legal challenges "would have taken a crackerjack team with a really coherent and disciplined strategy."

Efforting? Who the bleep uses that term?  Devan Cole (https://www.cnn.com/profiles/devan-cole).  I thought of mocking up a wanted for abusing the English language graphic but decided the effort wasn't worth it.  I just sent feedback to CNN telling them that if they listened closely in the still of the night they'd be able to hear composition instructors weeping.
