Donald Trump announced plans to hold a press conference next week to present a "conclusive report" proving that the 2020 election in Georgia was rigged. This comes after Trump was recently indicted by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis for attempting to overturn the election results in Georgia. Trump claims the report will show election fraud and lead to "a complete exoneration" of all charges against him. However, critics argue it has been over two years since the election and Trump has not previously provided evidence of widespread fraud. The announcement also comes just hours after Trump lashed out at Willis for indicting him now rather than earlier. It remains to be seen whether Trump's promised report will actually contain new evidence that could substantively challenge the prior investigations.

Holy shit he actually said "the report will come out next week". Like his healthcare solution. Or his infrastructure plan. It's all coming out next week.

Or his "stolen election" claims leading up to Jan 6th. People forget. But the whole thing was initially advertised as a reveal of damning proof.

Well, we sure did get a lot of damning proof that day…
