On Thursday, former President Donald Trump canceled a press conference he had scheduled for next week via his social media site Truth Social. The press conference was going to be somewhat of a faux defense hearing in which he was planning to unveil a “Large, Complex, Detailed but Irrefutable REPORT on the Presidential Election Fraud which took place in Georgia” in 2020.
According to one New York newspaper, the report is “more than 100 pages” long and was worked on “for many weeks” by Trump’s team. But Trump’s reason for canceling the event, he explained, was because his “lawyers would prefer” putting the “evidence of Election Fraud & Irregularities in formal Legal Filings,” despite no fraud having ever been substantiated.
"For nearly three years now, anyone with evidence of fraud has failed to come forward — under oath — and prove anything in a court of law,” Georgia Governor Brian Kemp (R) succinctly stated on Monday.
The former president has also made the decision to snub the first Republican primary debate on Wednesday, and instead, participate in an interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who was fired from his role on Fox. Meanwhile, Ronna McDaniel, the chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, has urged Trump in private to join the debate, desperately doing so even in person when she flew out to meet him at his private club in Bedminster, NJ.
“Reagan didn’t do it, and neither did others. People know my Record, one of the BEST EVER, so why would I Debate?” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Thursday, adding that he is polling well ahead of other candidates.
