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.
And no one was surprised.

OppositeOfOxymoron ( @OppositeOfOxymoron@infosec.pub ) 5•11 months agoA lot of people lost their fucking minds over the course of the pandemic. My mother (formerly an intelligent and compassionate professional who owned a business in the banking and finance space) got pushed down the conspiracy theory rabbit hole over the course of the pandemic, and became a total and complete fucking moron that only gets their ‘facts’ from far-right blogs, youtube videos, and facebook posts that ‘own the libs’.
I am no longer surprised with the level of enthusiasm these people have for intellectual poison.

A friend and I were talking about how quick to aggression people have become and the how it’s an unfocused aggression
OppositeOfOxymoron ( @OppositeOfOxymoron@infosec.pub ) 3•11 months agoShe started down the path towards being an idiot before the pandemic. Every phonecall was some new bullshit that she’d latch on to, and when I calmly tried to explain how actually worked, she’d lose her shit, scream at me, and hang up. The isolation and disinformation campaigns throughout the pandemic broke her brain.

Jessica ( @SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) English4•11 months agoI like to imagine he has a serious sharpie problem. He’s completely hooked on sniffing sharpies all day long. It starts with a one-pack, and before you know it, you’re getting bulk discounts by pretending to work in academia. The feeling when you twist off the cap of a new sharpie? Can’t be beat.
It would explain A LOT

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Former President Donald Trump said Thursday he will no longer hold an event to present what he called an “irrefutable report” about the 2020 election in Georgia.
Trump announced the planned “major news conference” Tuesday morning, the day after he and 18 other defendants were indicted in the election interference case in Georgia.
“A Large, Complex, Detailed but Irrefutable REPORT on the Presidential Election Fraud which took place in Georgia is almost complete & will be presented by me at a major News Conference at 11:00 A.M. on Monday of next week in Bedminster, New Jersey,” Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social.
In a Truth Social post Thursday evening, Trump canceled Monday’s event and said the report would not be released that day, either.
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.
Contacted about the ABC report earlier Thursday, two Trump allies expressed relief at the prospect of the event’s cancellation.

roguetrick ( @roguetrick@kbin.social ) 8•11 months agoWhat’s cute is this “display of weakness” will eat at him until he calls a fox news morning show and emails them the “report.” Everyone knew he’d back down, but he also has no impulse control and will do it anyway
SokathHisEyesOpen ( @Anticorp@lemmy.ml ) 3•11 months agoYou’re assuming there is anything more than lies, which I highly doubt. There’s no evidence. There’s no report. There are no documents. There are only weak verbal lies.

He’s still thinking “when I get back in power I’m going to show them”. I don’t think he realizes what’s happening.
