Trump canceled a planned news conference next week where he said he would present claims of election fraud in Georgia from the 2020 election. His lawyers felt it better to file the claims formally in court as they fight his recent indictment in Georgia. The indictment charges Trump with attempting to pressure state officials to overturn the election results. It cites instances where Trump alleged fraud that did not occur. Previously, Trump's campaign had filed lawsuits in Georgia making unfounded claims of issues like dead people voting. Of note, one of the indictment charges relates specifically to a lawsuit Trump signed verifying false claims. Trump remains vocal in disputing the 2020 election results despite lack of evidence.

the fact that he's now suddenly taking the advice of his lawyers is telling.
