Shortly after he was indicted by the Fulton County district legal professional’s workplace for making an attempt to overturn the election in Georgia, Donald Trump took to Reality Social to make an announcement. “A Giant, Complicated, Detailed however Irrefutable REPORT on the Presidential Election Fraud which passed off in Georgia is sort of full & can be offered by me at a serious Information Convention at 11:00 A.M. on Monday of subsequent week in Bedminster, New Jersey,” he wrote. “Based mostly on the outcomes of this CONCLUSIVE Report, all costs must be dropped in opposition to me & others – There can be an entire EXONERATION!

The announcement clearly raised quite a bit questions, comparable to: Why hadn’t one of many many state and federal investigations into the 2020 election uncovered this “Irrefutable” proof? Why had actually nothing come up within the final three years proving that Trump’s claims of election fraud had been truly legit? Why hadn’t Trump talked about that such a report was within the works, say, earlier than he was criminally charged in Georgia, and why did he nonetheless want a further week for the “Giant, Complicated, Detailed however Irrefutable REPORT” to be accomplished? One attainable clarification is that he was merely planning to current a bunch of lies. Why do we predict this is likely to be the case? As a result of shortly after he broadcast his plans, ABC Information reported that authorized advisers to Trump, who’d undoubtedly had a collective coronary after they learn his publish, had “instructed him that holding such a press convention with doubtful claims of voter fraud [would] solely complicate his authorized issues,” with a few of attorneys advising him to cancel it.
And whereas the ex-president has made it abundantly clear during the last a number of years that he listens to nobody, evidently what we will solely assume was recommendation alongside the traces of “This is without doubt one of the worst concepts you’ve ever had and can in all probability end in extra felony counts” truly sunk in—to some extent.
We caveat that as a result of whereas Trump mentioned on Thursday that he was canceling the Monday presser, he additionally claimed that he could be “placing this, I consider, Irrefutable & Overwhelming proof of Election Fraud & Irregularities in formal Authorized Filings.” (Will his attorneys go together with placing his election lies in official court docket filings? We’ll simply have to attend and see!)
In different Trump authorized information, he’d wish to postpone his federal trial for making an attempt to overturn the election till spring 2026. Per Axios:
Ought to Trump win the 2024 election, he’d be greater than a yr into his second time period in April 2026, at which level he may simply pardon himself, a reality we’re positive nobody on Crew Trump even thought of when placing in its requested trial date. In the meantime, the ex-president is predicted to be arraigned in Georgia subsequent week, the place Fulton County sheriff Pat Labat has beforehand recommended he may have his mug shot taken like a typical prison. (Not like a typical prison, Trump will presumably slap mentioned mug shot on all method of merch and use it to fundraise hundreds of thousands.)
