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 is interesting is the latest Newsmax article wasn’t being bias anymore, actually using sentences like Trump appointed officials say there was no evidence and whatnot

    Sure the bottom of the article said it was from the AP but I am not sure if Newsmax is covering their butss or is purposefully copy pasted AP so their fan base, er, users, will get more outraged.
