Former U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday he had canceled a press conference scheduled for next week to release a report into the 2020 election in Georgia, saying his attorneys would put his arguments in court filings instead.

Trump said earlier this week that he would hold the press conference on Monday to release a detailed, 100-page report into what he described as “election fraud” in the state of Georgia during the 2020 election he lost to Democrat Joe Biden.

    His ‘Press Conference’ (where he takes no questions from anyone but Newsmax and OAN) was probably just going to be another rambling bunch of his usual lies, sprinkled with a good dose of stochastic terrorism. I’ll bet his lawyers threatened to walk if he did it.

      Well yeah that’s the part we were looking forward to. He would have likely repeated a bunch of lies about the election which would’ve gone straight to the prosecution as more acts in furtherance of the conspiracy and with a bit of luck he would’ve threatened someone and ended up being denied bail because of it. We all knew this was gonna be a shit show but for once his blatant crimes committed on live television seem to be inching toward actual consequences and I for one am a bit heartbroken we didn’t get to watch him get arrested in the middle of his speech because he thought he was slick in calling for the murders of his opponents.
