The former president also said he would no longer hold a “major news conference” Monday to highlight the report and counter the charges he faces in Fulton County.

In a Truth Social post Thursday evening, Trump canceled Monday’s event and said the report would not be released that day, either.

“Rather than releasing the Report on the Rigged & Stolen Georgia 2020 Presidential Election on Monday, my lawyers would prefer putting this, I believe, Irrefutable & Overwhelming evidence of Election Fraud & Irregularities in formal Legal Filings,” he wrote in the post. “Therefore, the News Conference is no longer necessary!”

ABC News reported Thursday morning that Trump’s legal advisers were actively urging him to call off the event, arguing that continued claims of election fraud could further complicate his legal problems in the Georgia case. NBC News has not confirmed the report.

And no one was surprised.

    What’s cute is this “display of weakness” will eat at him until he calls a fox news morning show and emails them the “report.” Everyone knew he’d back down, but he also has no impulse control and will do it anyway

      My favorite part of this is how much it surely stung the child’s fragile ego.

      You’re assuming there is anything more than lies, which I highly doubt. There’s no evidence. There’s no report. There are no documents. There are only weak verbal lies.
