Former President Donald Trump now says he won’t be holding a press conference next week to unveil what he claims is new evidence of fraud in the 2020 election in Georgia, citing the advice of lawyers. …

“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 as we fight to dismiss this disgraceful Indictment,” he wrote on his social media site Thursday evening. He added, “Therefore, the News Conference is no longer necessary!”

[Sounds like Trump’s lawyers actually got him to listen, for once. For now, anyway. I suspect that the attorneys impressed upon him the need to make sure his public statements don’t contradict his court filings in the criminal case, which is very good advice, as I said earlier. As for the “irrefutable report” being submitted in said court documents, I’d bet that the attorneys will be very careful in that regard; attorneys that submit knowingly false claims in court can find themselves disbarred, as Giuliani is discovering. — Ed]
