Trump Announces Press Conference to Prove Election Was Stolen – Rolling Stone (www.rollingstone.com)

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.

press conference

So, free publicity for his campaign I guess?

It'd be great if little to nobody showed up. Any serious reporter wouldn't want to go. Can you imagine how much drivel is gonna spew out at that event? It's a better venue for a comedian or comic reporter like Jordan Klepper as long as Klepper could ask pertinent questions. Remember, Orange Con Don didn't like doing press conferences as prez and he rarely answered questions. Answering those questions is hard you know. You just gotta change the subject and ramble long enough that his supporters don't even know what's being talked about anymore. Anyway, he's got snacks to eat and TV to watch. You know, stuff like OAN and Playboy.
