US President Donald Trump calls for the appointment of a special investigator to investigate his election defeat in 2020, based on his refuted claims, dASA “more massive and overwhelming” fraud was responsible for Joe Biden’s victory.
“Biden was completely incompetent. And the 2020 election was a complete fraud! The evidence is massive and overwhelming. A special investigator has to be appointed,” Trump wrote on TRUTH on Friday morning. “This must never happen again in the United States! The work has to begin!”
Resumption of old false claims
The President claimed that his successor and predecessor had lost the “high” election. Trump’s repeated lies about the 2020 election have fired countless conspiracy theories over the years. And even inspired a mob of rioters who stormed the US capitol to prevent the certification of bidens election victory on January 6, 2021.
In fact, over 60 lawsuits submitted by Trump’s campaign team were rejected due to alleged irregularities and voting fraud due to the lack of legal basis or evidence. A review by the Associated Press The irregularities claimed by Trump in six contested states resulted in fewer than 500 possibly fraudulent votes in 2020. A number that would not have been enough to tip over the election outcome in favor of bid.
Earlier attempts to restrict investigations
Last year, the district judge Eileen Cannon from Florida stood on the side of Trump’s lawyers when she argued that the former special investigator Jack Smith was illegally appointed to investigate Trump after his term. Cannon and Trump’s lawyers claim that only the congress or the president may make such a appointment. Not the head of the Ministry of Justice.
The Truth Social Post on Friday indicates that the president is willing to redeem a promise that he had given his supporters in 2023. That he will appoint a real special investigator in the event of a return to the White House to hold the most corrupt president in the history of the United States of America, Joe Biden.
Trump now seems to be ready to launch this baseless examination based on his often refuted claims. Omme, what.
