Former President Donald Trump announced on social media Thursday evening that he will no longer hold a press conference or release his so-called extensive report that he claimed would refute the Fulton County indictment allegations against him.
“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 as we fight to dismiss this disgraceful Indictment by a publicity & campaign finance seeking D.A., who sadly presides over a record breaking Murder & Violent Crime area, Atlanta. Therefore, the News Conference is no longer necessary!” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.
The canceled press conference comes as the former president’s legal advisors reportedly urged him to cancel the event, telling him that holding it would only complicate his legal problems, according to sources who spoke to ABC News.
Meanwhile, Trump attorneys are expected to meet with the Fulton County district attorney’s office early next week in order to negotiate terms of the bond package for the former president, according to ABC News.
The meeting between District Attorney Fani Willis’ office and Trump attorneys is expected to occur prior to any surrender by Trump at the Fulton County jail.
Trump and the 18 co-defendants that were charged alongside him for various alleged attempts to overturn the result of Georgia’s 2020 presidential election have until Aug. 25 at noon to turn themselves in voluntarily.
The Fulton County indictment is the former President’s fourth indictment — two of which are federal.
I bet he was never going to have the press conference in the first place.
WTF is going on? Floriduh Fats is listening to his lawyers? Did the sun rise in the west?
This has a very “Obama birth certificate” vibe to it, no?
“I have the proof, but I can’t show you.”
I wouldn’t be the least surprised to learn that was always the intention.
Donnie got his jag of publicity and got to sow doubts and reinforce his lie. There might not even be a document and, even if there is, I doubt it’ll ever be filed anywhere.
he will no longer hold a press conference or release his so-called extensive report that he claimed would refute the Fulton County indictment allegations against him.
So momentous a report he can’t release it to Politico or the Washington Post? You’d think these conservative papers would be fighting to get the story of the century.
But maybe they took a look at the Fox/Dominion case and decided to save a little money.
