Ranting Trump promises 'irrefutable' report on Georgia 'election fraud' exonerating him

Ranting Donald Trump has wildly promised a new report that he says will prove there was election fraud after he was indicted for allegedly meddling with results in the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. Former President Trump, 77, said he will present the report in his New Jersey home in Bedminster on Monday next week. "A Large, Complex, Detailed but Irrefutable REPORT on the Presidential Election Fraud which took place in Georgia is almost complete & will be presented by me at a major News Conference at 11:00 A.M. on Monday of next week," he claimed in his outurst on his social media platform, Truth Social. The 45th president was indicted along with 18 of his allies in an indictment that includes 41 different charges for the defendants. A total of 13 charges alone are against Trump, claiming he and his co-defendants were part of a "criminal organisation" engaged in an "enterprise" that operated in Georgia and other states. He denies all of the charges against him. Listed among Trump's co-defendants are Trump attorney and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, ex-Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and Trump administration Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark.

Georgia's Republican governor Brian Kemp Blaster Trump's claims in a statement on X, the app also known as Twitter, earlier today. "The 2020 election in Georgia was not stolen," he said. "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. Our elections in Georgia are secure, accessible, and fair and will continue to be as long as I am governor. Governor Kemp said: "The future of our country is at stake in 2024 and that must be our focus." Trump is significantly ahead in current polls for the race to become the Republican nominee for the 2024 presidential race. The 97-page indictment reads: "Trump and the other defendants charged in this indictment refused to accept that Trump lost, and they knowingly and wilfully joined conspiracy to unlawfully change the outcome of the election in favour of Trump."

Another charge, violating Georgia's Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), is the most serious and carries a maximum of 20 years behind bars. "The indictment alleges that rather than abide by Georgia’s legal process for election challenges, the defendants engaged in a criminal racketeering enterprise to overturn Georgia’s presidential election result,” Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, whose office brought the case, said at a late-night news conference. In the wake of the indictment, Trump's Campaign released a furious statement, targeting Ms Willis and comparing her to "Crooked Joe Biden". Ms Willis was accused of trying to "maximally" interfere with the 2024 presidential race by slowing down the investigation. The statement, which branded the investigation "un-American and wrong," concludes: "President Trump will never give up and will never stop fighting for you, as we all work to Make America Great Again in 2024."

In New York, Trump faces a number of legal battles including a charge alleging he is responsible for falsifying business records in regards to a hush money payment paid to adult film star Stormy Daniels. He denies these charges - there are 34 of them - and has appealed to have this case heard in a federal court. The trial for that case is due to begin on March 25 next year. The businessman-turned-politician has also denied 37 counts of illegally retaining classified documents and obstructing the US government’s efforts to get them back. The 37 charges against him include 31 alleged violations of the Espionage Act. He entered a not-guilty plea in a Miami federal court in June.

That trial will begin on May 20, 2024. Earlier this month, Trump pleaded not guilty to: conspiracy to defraud the United States; conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding; obstruction of an official proceeding and conspiracy against rights in Washington DC.
