Former President Donald Trump has decided to cancel his planned news conference next week, where he claimed he would present new evidence of fraud in Georgia’s 2020 presidential election. This announcement comes despite the fact that no credible evidence of fraud has been found. Trump cited the advice of his lawyers and his impending criminal trials, which stem from his false election claims, as the reasons for the cancellation.
Over the past two and a half years, no substantial evidence has emerged to support Trump’s claims of widespread fraud in Georgia or anywhere else. Republican officials in the state have consistently stated that the election was fair, and three recounts have confirmed President Joe Biden’s victory.
In a post on his social media site, Trump stated that his lawyers advised against releasing the report on the alleged rigged and stolen election on Monday. Instead, he plans to include the evidence of election fraud and irregularities in formal legal filings as he fights to dismiss the indictment.
Trump initially announced the news conference shortly after a Georgia grand jury charged him and others with a conspiracy to illegally overturn the 2020 election results and prevent a peaceful transition of power. He intended to use the event to release a nearly complete report that he believed would exonerate him.
Both federal and state election officials, as well as Trump’s own attorney general, have confirmed that there is no credible evidence of election tampering. Courts, including those with judges appointed by Trump himself, have rejected his claims of fraud.
Three recounts conducted in Georgia after the election all confirmed Biden’s victory. Advisers have urged Trump to focus less on his grievances about the 2020 election and more on his plans for the future. This divisive rhetoric may resonate with his loyal base but alienates moderate and independent voters. Even longtime Trump supporters criticize his refusal to move on.
The cases against Trump have raised the stakes significantly. A federal judge overseeing the election conspiracy case in Washington warned Trump about making inflammatory statements regarding the investigation while campaigning for a second term. The judge emphasized the importance of maintaining the integrity of the case and preventing witness intimidation or jury pool contamination.
However, Trump views the cases in Georgia and Washington as opportunities to challenge his false claims. His renewed attacks on the integrity of Georgia’s vote drew criticism from Republican Governor Brian Kemp, whom Trump had previously lobbied to overturn the election results.
Former Vice President Mike Pence, who Trump tried to pressure into overturning the election, also stated that the Georgia election was not stolen and that he had no authority to overturn the results.
In addition to these legal challenges, Trump is also facing criminal charges in Florida for mishandling classified documents and allegedly obstructing the investigation. He is also facing charges in New York related to hush money payments made during his 2016 campaign.
