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.

    I was so hoping for him digging himself deeper in the shit - or making himself the laughing stock (again).

    Well, the popcorn has to wait. The DA will definitely ask him a lot of questions about this, and while the “best” Trump can do is pleading the fifth on each and every question including the one for his name, his ego will make him blab, and therefor lie.
