Donald Trump announced plans to hold a press conference next week to present a “conclusive report” proving that the 2020 election in Georgia was rigged. This comes after Trump was recently indicted by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis for attempting to overturn the election results in Georgia. Trump claims the report will show election fraud and lead to “a complete exoneration” of all charges against him. However, critics argue it has been over two years since the election and Trump has not previously provided evidence of widespread fraud. The announcement also comes just hours after Trump lashed out at Willis for indicting him now rather than earlier. It remains to be seen whether Trump’s promised report will actually contain new evidence that could substantively challenge the prior investigations.
Now what would be super interesting is if the Georgia Court doesn’t grant him bail on Friday. That would throw a bit of a wrench in his plans to be somewhere on Monday. Near-zero chance of that happening, but it’s the only way to keep him from intentionally trying to taint the jury pool.
Deadline is Friday the 25th, so he has 4 days after his announcement until the surrender deadline.
Oh, thanks for the correction. I misunderstood which Friday it was. Almost two weeks to surrender seems generous.
Well, it IS for 19 people… not just Trump.
