Trump, a Republican, lost by more than 7 million votes to his Democratic challenger Joe Biden on November 3 last year. He sometimes hints that he could run for president again in 2024.
According to the loser of last year’s election, the committee should better scrutinize “the fraudulent presidential elections of 2020”. Trump reiterates in the statement, again without providing evidence, that the victory was stolen from him. The billionaire will give a press conference at his Florida country retreat.
On January 6, thousands of Trump supporters stormed the seat of the US parliament in an attempt to prevent the ratification of Biden’s victory. Shortly before that, the ex-president had called on them to fight “like hell”. Five people were killed in the storm.
Trump, meanwhile, is trying by all means to prevent the House of Representatives committee from acquiring documents that could get him into trouble.
