Trump’s promised press conference to refute the allegations in the indictment handed up by the Fulton County DA’s Office is now in doubt, multiple sources said.
I don’t think Trump’s lawyers have anything to worry about. If Trump had anything to prove his innocence, he would have brought it out a long time ago. He may even say he has all this great evidence, but now his lawyers won’t let him produce it so you’ll just have to trust him.
From George Takai today on Mastodon:
We’ll see this “irrefutable proof” that Trump won the 2020 election around the same time as his tax returns. He now says that instead of releasing the YUGE report Monday, he’ll produce it at trial. Which he wants to start in April of 2026. Who else sees the con?
We’ll just have to wait two and half years.
I told my wife this morning, I think his lil plan is to go on TV for this press conference, declare the whole thing a witch hunt, claim it’s because Jack Smith and all his mean judge friends have a boner for Trump, and everything’s fine, it’s all a sham.
He’ll think this completely absolves him, because he has come out and told ‘the truth’ and all, and he’ll waddle off back to Mar-a-lago, where the Deputies will be waiting for him.
What I’m expecting for Monday: Trump climbs into the Starship Heart of Gold and activates the Infinite Improbability Drive.
Possibly, it’s something like this:
Trump: I need to show that I really really believe that the election was stolen from me!
Lawyers: it doesn’t matter what you believe, because the actions were illegal
Trump: but I really believe this, so it’s OK if I do all that
Lawyers: it doesn’t work that way!!
