Donald Trump’s legal team is being accused of aiding prosecutors in the election interference case against him by citing a report with false voter fraud claims in their legal brief.
The report, which lacks credibility, is used to suggest that there are still disputes and questions about the 2020 election results.
This supports the prosecutors’ argument that Trump’s false voter fraud claims were intended to create controversy and fuel the events of January 6, 2021. (Trending: Sports Icon Dies Suddenly At 56)
“Senior political reporter Aaron Blake notes that the former president’s attorneys cite a social media post from Trump that links to a report from an unnamed source pushing similar claims. The report, which Blake writes ‘is a mess,’ puts forth a number of false voter fraud allegations, its first paragraph concluding ‘there is no evidence Joe Biden won,'” the report noted.
“It also cites multiple accounts of alleged election fraud that don’t appear to be publicly available, in one instance citing seven chapters from a so-called “Report on Widespread Fraud in the Georgia 2020 Presidential Election” but failing to provide an author or link.”
“A Google search, Blake added, does not return any report with that title.”
“Trump’s attorneys don’t state that the report’s claims are true in the brief, but, they argue, it shows there are still ‘vigorous disputes’ and ‘questions’ surrounding the ‘actual’ 2020 election results. ‘The aim is to apparently cite the smoke without actually claiming there’s fire,’ Blake concludes. ‘But what it demonstrates is how much this entire effort was about manufacturing smoke. And in that way, the Trump lawyers in effect just proved the prosecutors’ point,'” the report added.
