Trump's legal advisers urge him to cancel press conference to refute Georgia allegations: Sources
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.

He might have the right to remain silent, but it is clear he doesn't have the ability.
Remember when the Republicans claimed that having Trump interviewed by Mueller was a "perjury trap"? And last week, his lawyers were claiming that orders for him to not try to intimidate witnesses against him was a "contempt trap". Man is incapable of keeping his mouth shut, and just as incapable of telling the truth.
Gov. Kemp is not having this circus of lies Trump want to perform.
Georgia's Republican governor responded to that with his own social media post declaring, "The 2020 election in Georgia was not stolen. For nearly three years now, anyone with evidence of fraud has failed to come forward -- under oath -- and prove anything in a court of law.”
Yeah, but Kemp also claimed that elections in Georgia are entirely fair, after blatantly meddling in Georgia's elections in order to become governor.
No…no…let him talk! popcorn
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.
He'll think this completely absolves him,
He won't think that. He will just say that.
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!!
More like "but all of my life has taught me that there are no consequences for my actions, why would I think anything will be different now?"
🤣🤣🤣
He’s going to jail until the trial(s) then he’s going to prison.
I'm a bit of a dreamer myself.
If only.
The more rope he provides to get himself hanged, the better!
Too much rope means the feet touch the floor and it isn't effective.
What I'm expecting for Monday: Trump climbs into the Starship Heart of Gold and activates the Infinite Improbability Drive.
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.
